Black Sherif wins court case over Cruise People Ltd for allegedly breaching performance contract
Black Sherif wins court case over Cruise People Ltd for allegedly breaching performance contract.
An Accra High Court has dismissed a case brought against Ghanaian musician, Black Sherif, by Cruise People Ltd.
The company had accused the artist of breaching an agreement that led to the cancellation of a concert called ‘Afro Cruise Jam,’ where he was scheduled to perform in Athens, Greece, in August 2023.
Cruise People claimed that the cancellation resulted in financial losses for which they sought compensation from Black Sherif.
In response, Black Sherif’s legal team argued that the court lacked jurisdiction to hear the case, as the performance contract specified that any legal proceedings should occur in the United Kingdom.
Despite Cruise People insisting that the court had jurisdiction since both parties were Ghanaians operating in Ghana, the court, led by Judge Mariama Sammo, sided with Black Sherif’s lawyers.

The judge emphasized that none of the addresses provided by the party engaging the artist were situated in Ghana. As a result, the court had no alternative but to dismiss the case against the acclaimed music star.
