I don’t believe in Artiste Of The Year “curse”- Black Sherif
Mohammed Ismail Sherif, affectionately called Black Sherif, has disclosed he is not scared by the supposed Artiste Of The Year ‘curse’.
There is a notion that after winning Artiste Of The Year, the winners suffer to maintain the momentum due to the pressure to leave to expectation.
Speaking to Berla Mundi, Blacko said, he believes that if he continuously train to better who he did to win Artiste Of The Year, he would be the best.
”I don’t think like that, not at all, I think that whatever I am doing that has gotten me here if I train and double up my spirit, my hustle, I will go far,” he said.
According to him, that is what he thinks and believes in, and with the help of God, he will win more Artiste Of The Year awards.
The reigning Artiste Of The Year added that if it is the will of God everything will come to pass.
Blacko urged his fans in the United States of America to get their tickets for his maiden show on May 20, at Palladium in New York City, and in Atlanta on May 25.
