#PLAYGHANA: ‘SOME NIGERIAN BLOGS PLAN TO BLACKLIST BLACK SHERIF’ – OAP Adesope Alleges

Nigerian media personality, Adesope Olajide has alleged that Black Sherif runs the risk of losing his fan base in the country’s music industry as a result of his support for the #PlayGhana initiative.

He clarified on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM that the young rapper’s backing of the program intended to continuously promote Ghanaian music across the nation has angered certain bloggers in his native nation.

This comes after a number of artists, including Samini, Reggie Rockstone, DJ Mensah, and Smallgod, emphasized the need to elevate Ghanaian music at a press conference to launch the effort. They noted that the industry’s progress has been hampered by the predominance of foreign music.

With a show of support, Black Sherif made it clear that the campaign is not about holding DJs, artists, or fans accountable, but rather about working together to promote Ghanaian music.

“You know, this is not a blame game. We are not blaming DJs. We are not blaming artistes. We are not blaming consumers. It’s a step in the right direction for us all, our music and our culture. So play Ghana. Blessings.”

Despite Black Sherif’s well-intentioned remarks, Adesope, also known as Shopsydoo, observed that blogs might target the artistes rather than established figures like Reggie Rockstone or Samini.

“Do you think you can say anything to Reggie Rockstone or Samini? No. They will go for the baby who really has just started his career, he is just building relationships, and they can tell that he is still wet behind the ears. Let’s target this one, he won’t be able to fight back’,” Adesope stated.

He noted that this can affect Black Sherif, who enjoys significant popularity in Nigeria and possesses a substantial fanbase that values his music even more than some local artistes.

“So of course they will attack the popular person currently in that market, he didn’t say anything wrong,” the media personality noted.

Adesope, however, stood by the idea that Ghanaian music should take precedence, particularly during the holidays when visitors from abroad swarm the nation.

He maintained that encouraging indigenous content is essential to influencing how foreigners view Ghanaian music since they bring back the music they hear, which affects how the world views the nation’s music scene.

“When we come here we take home whatever we hear. If local content is not promoted, then whatever we hear is what we are going to take to the UK and America,” he stated.
