Subsequently, he becomes the second Ghanaian artist to secure victory in this category, following Sarkodie's win in 2019, during the category's inaugural year.

Black Sherif, who has experienced an astonishing ascent in his career within the past two years, emerged victorious over other notable global artists, including AKA (South Africa), Central Cee (UK), Gazo (France), J Hus (UK), K.O (South Africa), Major RD (Brazil), Ninho (France), Sampa The Great (Zambia), and Tasha & Tracie (Brazil).

According to Twitter users, his triumph is seen as a breath of fresh air, especially considering his previous nomination in the Best International Flow Category at the 2022 BET Hip Hop Awards, where he faced defeat against Benjamin EPPS.

Here are a few reactions sighted by GhanaWeb.
