Mohammed Ismail Sherif
The only Ghanaian on this board, and “Kwaku the Traveller” took him to No. 1 in Nigeria — a foreign act topping someone else's national chart.

Common questions
How many certifications does Black Sherif have?
Black Sherif has 24 certifications across 1 country, counted one plaque per title per country at its current tier. The most decorated is “Wotowoto Seasoning” (3× Platinum). Every figure is read from the certifying body's own register, not from press coverage.
How many No. 1s does Black Sherif have?
Black Sherif has 1 No. 1 placement on official national charts, from 22 entries in total. A No. 1 counts each time a release reaches the top of a country's chart, not the number of releases that have done it, and platform charts are counted separately on the live board.
Why don't Black Sherif's Nigerian certifications match TurnTable's website?
Because TurnTable's public certification page shows only part of its own register: it serves a hard cap of 500 rows and currently displays no Silver awards at all, for any artist. Black Sherif holds 11 Silver plaques among 24 Nigerian plaques here, so at least that many cannot appear on the live page. They are read from the same register's own archived captures rather than inferred — open the February 2026 capture and search Black Sherif's name to see them.
Is Black Sherif more certified than Burna Boy?
No. Black Sherif holds 24 plaques; Burna Boy holds 232, counted under the same rule — one plaque per title per country at its current tier. The country spread differs too: 1 against 26.
Which countries has Black Sherif been certified in?
Black Sherif holds plaques in 1 country, including Nigeria. Each is awarded by that country's own certifying body, and the full country-by-country breakdown is on this page.
