Black Sherif Named Face of Telecel Ghana’s Project X: Unlocking Rewards with Telecel Cash and the Play App
Everything you need to know about Blacko’s big partnership, how BlackoCodes work, and how to unlock free transfers and rewards on the Telecel Play App
The wait is officially over. After weeks of intense speculation and creative teasers across social media, Telecel Ghana has unveiled reigning TGMA Artiste of the Year Black Sherif as the official face of its ambitious new initiative: Project X.
The high-profile partnership is designed to supercharge digital financial inclusion across Ghana, leveraging the massive cultural influence of the “Kwaku the Traveller” hitmaker to get more young Ghanaians actively engaging with Telecel Cash and the Telecel Play App.
The Kempinski Unveiling: A Night to Remember
The grand partnership was revealed during a glittering launch event at the prestigious Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City in Accra. The room drew an elite crowd of industry leaders, regulators, and high-ranking officials, including the Deputy Minister responsible for Communications and Digital Transformation and the Executive Director of the Bureau of Ghana Languages (representing the Minister in charge of Tourism and the Creative Arts), alongside corporate titans like Dr. Ernest Ofori Sarpong.
True to form, the night wasn’t just about corporate announcements. Black Sherif treated guests to a deeply emotional, powerful live performance chronicling his raw journey to the pinnacle of Ghana’s music industry. The performance earned a thunderous standing ovation, instantly sending waves of viral clips across Ghanaian social media timelines.
What Exactly Is Telecel’s Project X?
While the name “Project X” initially kept tech and entertainment enthusiasts guessing, Telecel’s leadership pulled back the curtain to reveal a campaign built from the ground up to connect deeply with the modern digital consumer.
Telecel Ghana CEO Ing. Patricia Obo-Nai praised the artist during the launch, describing him as an authentic, resilient young Ghanaian whose journey mirrors the brand’s core values. “Project X is the coming together of two compelling stories,” she noted.
Echoing this sentiment, Aneth Muga, Director of Consumer Business at Telecel Ghana, explained that the campaign stems from listening closely to what customers want: simple, secure, and genuinely exciting everyday financial solutions.
Rather than a standard, passive brand endorsement, Project X is structured as an interactive movement. Over the next year, fans can expect live activations, surprise rewards, and deep integration into the Telecel ecosystem.
How Fans Can Win: Unlocking the “BlackoCodes”
The crown jewel of the Project X campaign is the interactive “BlackoCode” feature, rewarding loyal fans for participating in the digital ecosystem. Here is how users can get involved:
-
Activate your Telecel Cash mobile money wallet.
-
Download the Telecel Play App.
-
Engage with Black Sherif across his official online channels.
-

Fans who successfully engage unlock an array of perks, including exclusive experiences, service discounts, free transactions, and exciting prizes delivered right through the app.
Security First: As part of the campaign rollout, Telecel has issued a strong safety reminder to all customers: Never share your mobile money PIN, passwords, or passcodes with anyone claiming to represent Telecel or the campaign.
A Massive Year for the 2026 TGMA Champion
Landing this heavy-hitting corporate alliance adds yet another milestone to an already stellar run for Black Sherif. Fresh off his reign as Artiste of the Year at the Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) and making waves with his generous philanthropic gesture of splitting his GH¢100,000 prize money with fellow artists AratheJay and Gonaboy, Blacko continues to prove that his influence extends far beyond the recording studio.
As the campaign kicks into high gear, all eyes are locked on social media waiting for the very first BlackoCode drops. Whether you’re a die-hard fan looking to score exclusive perks or a digital native seeking seamless mobile money solutions, Project X promises an unforgettable ride.
