On January 9, 2024, Ghanaian music sensation Black Sherif celebrated his 22nd birthday in a unique way.

He sent packages of cake, champagne and greeting cards to some social media influencers who supported him.

He also released a new single, "January 9", and had a surprise visit from Stonebwoy at his home.

He ended the day with a private party at Chez Toi with his friends, fans and colleagues

But amid all that, one thing stood out: the birthday cake Black Sherif topped the celebrations with.

In some trending videos spotted by GhanaWeb on social media, Black Sherif could be seen admiring and then cutting an eccentric-looking cake at his private birthday bash at Chez Toi in Osu.

The cake was designed to look like a theatre with red chairs facing down an arena stage. The stage also featured a dummy designed to resemble Black Sherif, clad in white attire, performing in the arena.

It was a representation of the craft of Black Sherif and the possible future of him taking his music, and, by extension, Ghana, to the world.

The cake was designed by LaCake School & Bakery, which has a history of realistic-looking cakes and other pastries.

Black Sherif was seen cutting the cake with a knife designed like a sword as the crowd sang “Happy Birthday” to him.

Reactions to the cake were positive, with many appreciating the message behind the cake.

Social media was also awash with well-wishes and appreciation messages celebrating Black Sherif's achievements at such a young age.
