Cruise People Limited (Your Cruise People), the company at the heart of speculations of the arrest of Ghanaian artiste Black Sherif over breach of contract is claiming the latter engaged in fraudulent actions thereby their decision to file a complaint against him.
Its motive is to get compensated for the cost the musician’s “fraudulent” conduct billed it.
It has been widely reported in the media space and on various social media platforms the alleged arrest of Black Sherif on Wednesday, July 19 at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) while he was returning from a tour to Europe and the United States.
Different communications have been put out concerning the cause of the arrest, however, delving into the misunderstanding between the two, Cruise People Limited said it reached out to the artist to perform at the second edition of its musical cruise onboard a cruise ship dubbed Afro Cruise Jam, on August 19, 2023, in Greece.
It continued, “Cruise People Ltd was charged Forty Thousand United States Dollars ($40,000); and was further agreed between Cruise People Ltd., the artiste and his booking agents (United Talent Agency a.k.a Echo Location Talent Agency) that an initial payment of Twenty Thousand United States Dollars ($20,000) shall be paid to him to firm up the agreement and in return he will record a video confirming his participation and availability for the said show on the cruise ship at the agreed dates.”
The statement noted the company proceeded with the initial payment and booked media engagement after assurances that the video recording would be ready by May 19. Additionally, it said it “made deposits and secured cabins on the cruise ship and other incidental arrangements in anticipation of enhanced interests and patronage of purchase of cruise tickets that the media broadcast shall generate”.
But according to the statement, the artiste and his outfit reneged on their assurance and failed to communicate back to the company when they were emailed.
It therefore chose the legal path as it had no option but to “report his fraudulent actions to the police and proceed to court for redress and seek reliefs.”
