Court Dismisses Injunction Against Black Sheriff
An Accra High Court has dismissed an injunction application brought against Black Sherif’s ex-financier seeking to restrict the artiste from performing his song.
The Court on Tuesday, July 26, 2022, dismissed the injunction saying the plaintiff, Shadrach Agyei Owusu failed to make arguments justifiably on the grounds to which the injunction should be granted.
The Court presided by Justice Akua Sarpomaa Amoah stated that Black Sherif will suffer an injustice if the motion was approved.
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 Black Sheriff, Samson Lardy Anyenini argued against the injunction.
The plaintiff is claiming damages and over ¢1 million for the supposed breach of contract.
