Numerous reports have circulated on social media alleging that musician Black Sherif has been judicially mandated by a court in Adentan to remit GH¢229,500 in outstanding rental payments.
According to court records, these allegations have proven to be inaccurate.
In contrast to these assertions, the District Court 1 situated in Adenta has issued no such directive against the performer.
Court filings indicate that the litigation, initiated by Dr. Evelyn Esi Awittor, remains in its initial procedural phase.
The proceedings have been postponed, with both litigants scheduled to attend court on March 3, 2026.
Significantly, the property in question has been subject to a writ of attachment by the Accra High Court since February 2024 stemming from distinct legal proceedings unconnected to either Black Sherif or the tenancy of the RBA.
This indicates a complicated legal standing of the premises, which existed prior to the present rental controversy.
The tribunal has not issued any monetary judgment against Black Sherif.
The sum of GH¢229,500 referenced on social media constitutes a demand for relief submitted by the complainant, Dr. Awittor, representing purported rent arrears as of July 31, 2025.
This represents a claim being requested, not a judicial determination that has been issued.
The Adjiringanor premises under dispute does not function as Black Sherif’s private dwelling.
Credible sources verify that the facility operates as the headquarters and recording studios for the Road Boys Association (RBA), his artistic collective and recording company.
Consequently, the characterization of this location as the artist’s personal residence is erroneous.
The substantive legal contentions have not been examined, and the trial proceedings have not commenced.
The case will be properly heard and decided when both parties convene in court on March 3, 2026.
