Ghanaian musician, Black Sherif
Ghanaian musician, Black Sherif has become the centre of discussion on social media after he was spotted on the red carpet at the 2025 BET Awards, tipping Ayra Starr to win the Best International Act in the award scheme.
Black Sherif, although in the same category as Ayra Star, tipped the Nigerian female singer to win the awards when he was asked who deserves to win.
When further asked about how he reacted after discovering he had been nominated for the Best International Act award, Black Sherif noted “I was in the car, maybe car or chilling but I don’t think I was doing something extraordinary, I was normal.
“Someone called me and told me that there is another nomination. I went online to check it and it was true. Now we are here, Los Angeles.”
Black Sherif, as predicted, subsequently lost the Best International Act award to Nigerian musician, Ayraa Starr.
That particular category featured Brazilian musician, Any Gabrielly, Ayra Starr, UK musician Basky, Black Sherif, Rema, Tyla, Uncle Waffles, and Shallipopi, among others.
