Watch: How Black Sherif’s relationship with his estranged management started
Earlier last week, breakthrough Ghanaian act, Black Sherif made the headlines when a video of him packing out of his manager’s house hit the internet.
Kweku Kristo from Wayne Chavis Consult revealed how Black Sherif came under their management in an exclusive sit-down with Ameyaw TV.
According to Kweku Kristo, his boss came in contact with Black Sherif through his Road Manager in April, 2021.
“The whole journey started last year in April when Black Sherif’s road manager contacted my boss to invest in black Sherif’s craft. My boss said he had a lot of things on his plate so he wasn’t ready at the time so they should just tell him what they need and I the can be of help, he would do so from a distance,” he told Ameyaw Debrah.
Kweku Kristo revealed that at the beginning of their unofficial relationship with Blacko, he and his manager had requested for certain logistics to help nurture his craft.
“They requested for a car and some cash. They were given a chevy cruise to enable them run their errands and make things easier. And this was outside of the contract.
Kristo goes on to reveal that even though Blacko was provided with the car and cash to help him move around, his Road Manager was still insisting on a full management deal from them.
“They kept persisting and when he came he came back again after second sermon had blown and he was like the track is doing well and we need the resources to keep up with his talent,” he explained.
Finally in August, a after scrutiny from the company, Blacko was signed onto a management deal.
“The deal was pushing for someone who would manage him entirely. We put him through some scrutiny. Our A and R took him round, studied his sound and came to the conclusion that we would sign him to our company.
“The deal was for 5 years. Accommodation, transport and a change of wardrobe. Black Sherif was to give back 20% of his proceeds from streaming, concerts, etc back to the company. At a point my boss decided to stop taking the 20% and use that money build Black Sherif’s finances,” Kristo explains.
Black Sherif and Wayne Chavis Consult had a good working relationship until Blacko went behind them to sign a 15-year contract to produce ‘Second Sermon Remix’ one song and an EP under EMPIRE, a leading independent label, distributor, and publisher.
