Veteran host Akrobeto got more than he bargained for on Friday, 26 September 2026, when musician Black Sherif strolled onto the set of UTV's The Real News without warning. The moment, caught live on air, saw a visibly stunned Akrobeto repeatedly calling out to his director as he tried to process the unexpected presence of one of Ghana's biggest music stars.
The surprise appearance was part of Black Sherif's promotional push for his new EP, Sun Sherif, a six-track project that has been generating buzz since its release earlier this month. The project features the tracks Expresso, Run Around, Forever, Jolie, Frontline and Love Again. This EP has been making inroads on the charts, with the track "Jolie" entering the UK Official Afrobeats Chart.
Once Akrobeto recovered from the initial shock, the segment quickly turned into one of the more entertaining episodes of the long-running programme. The host, known for his comedic antics, went into his usual routine, leaving Black Sherif struggling to hold back laughter. The musician appeared genuinely amused by Akrobeto's reaction, and the two shared a light-hearted exchange on set.
Adding a personal touch to the visit, Black Sherif performed some of the songs from Sun Sherif for Akrobeto during the appearance. The clip has been circulating widely as one of the most talked-about segments to come out of The Real News. For fans, the appearance offers a rare, unscripted glimpse of Black Sherif outside the recording studio.
The surprise television appearance appears to be one of several promotional efforts tied to the EP's rollout. Akrobeto's programme, a fixture on UTV known for its blend of news and comedic commentary, has long attracted guests from Ghana's entertainment scene, but surprise walk-ons of this nature remain uncommon.
The EP's Reception So Far has already begun making inroads on the charts, and the surprise television appearance appears to be one of several promotional efforts tied to the EP's rollout. Fans of both Black Sherif and Akrobeto are likely to keep watching for any follow-up content as the EP continues its run on streaming platforms and international charts.
No further public appearances or promotional events for Sun Sherif have been announced beyond the UTV segment, based on available information. The article was produced by the Chale News desk with AI-assisted drafting from the sources listed.
