On 11 April 2022, a lawsuit was filed against Black sheriff for alleged breach of contract. The lawsuit stems from allegations that Black Sherif ignored his investor after he invested in his career. Again, Black Sherif is said to have signed a distribution agreement with Empire Music without his investor's permission, despite the fact that he allegedly had a business management contract with him. His investor, Shadrach Agyei Owusu, the CEO of Waynes Chavis Consult is seeking the court to restrict Black Sherif from performing at events without his authorization.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Black Sherif sued over alleged breach of contract|url=http://ghananews.hrforum.uk/2022/04/black-sherif-sued-over-alleged-breach-of-contract-388.html|access-date=2022-04-12|website=GHANA News ONLINE|language=en-gb}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Inusah |first=Murtala |date=11 April 2022 |title=Black Sherif sued over contract termination |url=https://starrfm.com.gh/2022/04/black-sherif-sued-over-contract-termination/ |access-date=2022-04-12 |website=Starrfm Online |language=en-gb}}</ref>
