The music streaming platform, AudioMack, incurred the wrath of some Ghanaians on Twitter after they labelled Black Sherif as a Nigerian.
AudioMack on Monday revealed that Black Sherif was among the most streamed Hip-Hop artists this week.
Black Sherif was ahead of Kodak Black, Lil Durk and JUICEWRLD.

His song, 'Kwaku The Traveller' which was released on Friday, was the most-streamed new song.
But in their posts, the platform attached a Nigerian flag to Black Sherif’s name.
Who told you guys black sheriff is a Nigerian ? Better correct yourself jorr

Many music lovers on Twitter did not take this mistake lightly.
For some, the platform’s mistake undermines the efforts of Black Sherif and the Ghanaian music industry.
People on the microblogging platform implored the platform to make the necessary changes to their post.
Why are you doing this you are making us 🇬🇭 inferior we top chat and you will put Nigeria flag there

Meanwhile, some Nigerians and Ghanaians believe it is only right for Nigeria to claim Black Sherif, after he emerged number one on the Apple Music Top 100 chart in Nigeria.
Because na 9ja blow am, I've been reading some negative remarks about him and yaw tog precisely from gh Twitter handles. Seriously is that how y'all ghanians kill a young talent, especially yaw tog I've seen several gh Twitter handles saying he doesn't have talent and sings shit

Audiomack, you have an artist on your platform who has entered details of himself and you still mistaken his country … if he entered Nigeria as his country like this tweet let me know
