The Artiste of the Year at the Vodafone Ghana Awards (VGMAs), Black Sherif, has responded to the allegations that the success of Sarkodie\u2019s \u201cJamz\u201d album would not have occurred without his contribution.<\/strong><\/h2>\nOn the \u201cJamz\u201d album, Black Sherif and Sarkodie\u2019s song \u201cCountry Side\u201d immediately rose to the top of the charts, prompting some fans to speculate that Black Sherif\u2019s involvement significantly influenced the album\u2019s overall appeal.<\/p>\n

However, Black Sherif in an interview with MzGee on United took the opportunity to clarify his stance on these claims, emphasizing that the album would have attained its current status with or without his involvement.<\/p>\n
– –<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cIt would have been what it will be. is a spiritual thing. From my lens, Albums and singles are babies. I don\u2019t know his destiny. If I wasn\u2019t on it, I don\u2019t know his destiny, so whatever the album would have been, would have been,\u201d he stated during the interview.<\/p>\n
Black Sherif further acknowledged Sarkodie\u2019s extensive experience and career longevity, noting that the acclaimed rapper had been making music for years before he entered the picture. He expressed humility by stating that he would not presume to dictate the success or failure of Sarkodie\u2019s album, stating, \u201cAm I the one to come and tell him that without me, his album would go nowhere? We don\u2019t talk like that. I\u2019ve just been here for four years, subtract it from his [Sarkodie\u2019s] years.\u201d<\/p>\n
Born Mohammed Ismail Sharrif, Blacko, 21 in an earlier interview on TV3 also explained why he failed to join Sarkodie to perform \u2018Countryside\u2019 at the recently held VGMAs.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am a big fan of Sarkodie. I wanted to sit and experience him perform,\u201d Black Sherif said.<\/p>\n
