Black Sherif’s ex-financier attempted to get an injunction against him to stop him from performing his song, but the Accra High Court rejected the application.
On Tuesday, July 26, the court dismissed the order because Shadrach Agyei Owusu, the plaintiff, had not adequately argued his case for why the injunction should be granted.
If the motion is allowed, Black Sherif will experience injustice, according to Justice Akua Sarpomaa Amoah’s judgement.
The former financier, Mr Owusu sued the musician on Monday, April 11, 2022. He accused Black Sherif of leaving him high and dry to sign a record deal with another label, Empire Entertainment without his approval.
In other documents, the ex-financier, sought an injunction to be placed on Black Sherif, restricting him from playing at any event until the case has been resolved.
The plaintiff was also asking for an injunction order to be placed on the funds the rapper has accrued through streaming and other revenue sources to ensure he does not squander the money while the case is ongoing.
However, in court on Tuesday lawyer for the defendant, Samson Lardy Anyenini argued against the injunction.
The plaintiff is claiming damages and over ¢1 million for the supposed breach of contract.
Mr. Anyenini thanked the court and said he was waiving the cost against the plaintiff because that will not help ongoing negotiations by the parties to resolve the matter amicably.
