An excited Black Sherif, following his win, walked to the stage singing Sad Boys Don’t Fold – the song he opened his performance with.
He thanked everyone that supported him throughout his career stating “I dedicate this award to my mother, father and to Konongo Zongo.”
He later sang the lyrics to Sad Boys Don’t Fold as a goodbye – “sending love to my rastas…We’ll be great ‘nti moda a monda’ (if you sleep, sleep well).
Black Sherif assured his fans to expect his new work in June.
Congratulations Blacko
