There have been widespread social media reports claiming that musician Black Sherif has been ordered by an Adentan court to pay GH¢229,500 in rent arrears.

These claims have been found to be misleading, according to court documents.

Contrary to the narrative, the District Court 1 at Adenta has issued no such order against the artist.

Court documents show that the case, filed by Dr. Evelyn Esi Awittor, is at its preliminary stages.

The hearing has been adjourned, with both parties expected to appear in court on March 3, 2026.

Crucially, the subject property has been under attachment by the Accra High Court since February 2024 due to separate legal matters unrelated to Black Sherif or the RBA’s tenancy.

This suggests a complex legal status of the property, which predates the current tenancy dispute.
