Black Sherif won the Best West African Artiste Of The Year award on Sunday, 3rd September 2023, at the 16th edition of the Headies Awards.
The Best West African Artiste category is set to reward artists who have contributed and impacted enormously to the music scene and originate from the West African region. He was nominated alongside artists like Camidoh, Gyakie, both from Ghana and The Therapist from Liberia.
Black Sherif showed his utmost gratitude to his fans worldwide upon receiving the award, especially those from Africa, Nigeria and Ghana. Last but not least, he remembered his hometown Konongo Zongo, as he mentioned them too.
