Controversial entertainment pundit, Mr. Logic, has demanded that Cruise People Limited ensures that fast-rising singer Black Sherif faces legal consequences as a deterrent for other artists.
On July 19, 2023, Black Sherif was arrested by the Ghana Police Service at Kotoka International Airport for breaching a contract regarding a July 4 show in Greece, which he failed to attend.
Reportedly, Black Sherif was scheduled to perform on a cruise ship in Greece and charged US$40,000 for the performance. He received half of the payment but did not fulfill his part of the contract.
Mr. Logic believes that such unprofessional behavior hampers the growth of the creative arts industry.
To foster a serious and thriving creative space, he emphasizes the need for accountability and responsibility among artists.
He calls for Black Sherif’s prosecution to set an example and caution other artists against similar actions.
Speaking on the United Showbiz show, Mr. Logic stated that artists should learn from this situation and face the consequences in court, stressing the importance of using the law to create a more professional environment within the industry.
“Artists should take a cue from this challenge, we are in a professional space and the law should take effect. let them go defend themselves in court so lessons can be learned”, he said while speaking on the United Showbiz show.
He added, “We are not making use of the court, and we take certain things likely in the creative space, the industry is known for unseriousness, and its high time the narrative change should we want a better professional environment”.
