Rapper, Medikal, has shared his excitement over Black Sherif winning the Artiste of the Year award at the 2026 Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA).
Speaking on the award Medikal described Black Sherif’s victory as well-deserved.
According to him, Black Sherif’s music tells real-life stories of struggle, hard work, and survival that many young people can relate to.
“If you listen to Blacko’s songs from day one, the content is about struggling and trying to make it, coming from the street. So he’s a street boy, blessed by God,” Medikal said.
The rapper added that he felt proud and genuinely happy watching his colleague receive the top award on the night.
“So Blacko winning Artiste of the Year is equally deserving as me picking the plaque. The joy I would have felt if I had won was the same joy I felt when Blacko won Artist of the Year,” he stated.
“I’m happy for him. Clapping my hands and nodding for him, I was happy for my brother,” he added.
Black Sherif won the 2026 TGMA Artiste of the Year award on Saturday, May 9, marking his second victory in the prestigious category. He beat competition from top artistes including Wendy Shay, Sarkodie, Stonebwoy and Diana Hamilton.
Since his win, Black Sherif has continued to receive praise from fans and fellow musicians across the country.
