Young rising star Black Sherif has urged his industry elders like Sarkodie, Stonebwoy, and Shatta Wale to support the young people opposing the current administration.
Stonebwoy, Sarkodie, Samini, and Shatta Wale, collectively known as the Big Four of Ghanaian music, were urged to join the revolution by Blacko in a fiery tweet on X.
According to Black Sherif, this is the time to stand up and be counted because their fans need them right now.
Tweeted the young rapper: “Sarkodie, Shatta Wale, Stonebwoy, and Samini be wanna leaders for the industry, together you can make a big difference in our country. Your fans have your back, it’s time to have theirs. Our country needs change!!!🙏 #OccupyJulorbiHouse #OCCUPYJULORBIJOUSE,”
His message comes as Ghanaians protest in large numbers in the streets against the NPP government’s high cost of living, corruption, poor management, and excessive taxation.
Protesters were brutally arrested by police on the first day of the #OccupyJulorbiHouse demonstrations.
However, a second day of protests is taking place, and Black Sherif has urged the “4 S” to participate in person rather than tweeting from behind their phones!

In a related news, a number of well-known Ghanaian celebrities have joined the Democracy Hub group for Day 2 of the #OccupyJulorbiHouse protest as a show of solidarity.
The protest, which originally started on Thursday, unexpectedly changed course when the police got involved, detaining 49 of the organizers on suspicion of unlawful assembly.
Efia Odo, EL, Kelvyn Boy, Veana Negasi, and comedian Warris, among others, joined the gathered protesters at the 37 lorry park on Friday morning, September 22nd, as they prepared to march to the Jubilee House.
Protesters at #OccupyJulorbiHouse had to stand firm in the heavy rains during the ongoing demonstration.
A video sighted online showed the moment Ghanaian comedian SDK and some protesters were jamming to a song in the heavy rain.
