The Commercial Division of the High Court has ruled in favour of award-winning Ghanaian musician Black Sherif, effectively bringing to an end his protracted legal dispute with his former management company, Charvis Wayne’s Consult.
In a judgment delivered by Justice Afia Adu-Amankwa, the court dismissed the bulk of the claims brought against the artiste, holding that the major allegations were not supported by sufficient evidence.
The ruling represents a significant legal win for Black Sherif, whose career has continued to grow despite the ongoing court battle.
The court confirmed that a valid management agreement had existed between the parties at an earlier stage.

However, it found that several claims advanced by the plaintiff — including allegations of withheld revenue, unaccounted income, construction-related expenses, and other purported financial losses — were not proven to the required legal standard.
Justice Adu-Amankwa further noted that the plaintiff failed to adequately fulfil key contractual obligations and did not take reasonable steps to mitigate the losses being claimed.
This failure, the court held, weakened the overall case against the musician.
While the court acknowledged a minor technical breach relating to Black Sherif’s engagement with a third party, it concluded that the breach did not result in any substantial or quantifiable damage to the former management company.
In its final orders, the court awarded nominal damages of GH¢50,000 and GH¢15,000 in legal costs, while dismissing all remaining claims against the artiste.
