Winning never seems to slow down Black Sherif. Just hours after clinching the Artiste of the Year title at the 2026 Telecel Ghana Music Awards, the “Iron Boy” hitmaker is already speaking about what could be his next historic achievement, a possible third crown.
The award-winning musician believes that milestone is not far-fetched, stressing that his momentum has only grown stronger following his latest success.
Speaking in an interview with Cookie Tee on TV3 on May 11, 2026, he reflected on the possibility of becoming the first Ghanaian artiste to win the Artiste of the Year award three times.
Despite the magnitude of his latest win, Black Sherif insists there is no pause button on his career. If anything, he says the victory has intensified his drive.
He revealed that the celebration was short-lived, noting that he was already back to work just a day after receiving the award in the early hours of Sunday.
“It’s possible, most definitely possible. Cause am still working, I’m back to work. We won the award Sunday dawn, back to work Monday, we are still working. It’s hundred percent possible,” he said firmly.
For him, consistency is non-negotiable. Black Sherif stressed that success does not change his routine or slow his pace, adding that his discipline and work ethic remain the foundation of everything he is building. He believes that same mentality could eventually push him into uncharted territory with a third Artiste of the Year win.
The conversation was sparked after Cookie Tee pointed out that although several Ghanaian music heavyweights have won the award twice, none has managed to secure it three times.
“No artiste in Ghana so far has won Artiste of the Year three times; you’ve now joined a number of legends like VVIP, like Sarkodie, like Stonebwoy who have won it twice. Is Iron Boy Blacko going to win the artiste of the year for the third time?” Cookie asked.
Before Black Sherif’s latest success, only VVIP, Sarkodie and Stonebwoy had achieved multiple Artiste of the Year wins at the TGMAs.
