Speaking about the achievement, the 20-year-old said the milestone is a big deal for him considering his humble start in life.
''Reaching 100 million streams on Boomplay in such a short time and being the first Ghanaian artiste to achieve this feat is a big deal to me.
''As a young kid from Konongo, who only had a dream and a voice, this brings me to the realisation that I can achieve any and everything so long as I believe and dare myself to take action,'' said Black Sherif, per 3news.
Black Sherif thanked the music streaming and downloading platform, saying ''big love to the Boomplay team for putting me on from day one till now''.
Black Sherif's manager drags him to court
The current reigning young Ghanaian musician, Black Sherif, was in trouble following being dragged to court by his manager.
Known in private life as Mohammed Ismail Shariff, the musician has been served a writ signed on April 11, 2022, to appear in court within 8 years, otherwise, the court would take action without any further notice to him.
The court has also placed an injunction on Black Sherif, that stops him from performing at events. According to the writ, all proceeds from online streaming, and others, should be with the manager.
