The alliance, declared on October 8, 2026, includes events, promotions, and surprise rewards for customers over the upcoming year. Black Sherif, also known as Blacko, will spearhead consumer engagement initiatives for Telecel Cash.

Speaking at the reveal, Telecel Ghana's Chief Executive Officer, Ing. Patricia Obo-Nai, remarked the partnership unites entities appealing to youth, sharing values of authenticity and resilience. She noted Black Sherif's talent and life story connect with young Ghanaians, making him an ideal partner for the venture. Ing. Obo-Nai urged Telecel Cash users to follow Black Sherif for updates on forthcoming activities and chances to earn rewards. Customers need a Telecel Cash wallet and the Telecel Play app to take part in the program. During the unveiling, Telecel Ghana reminded users to safeguard their accounts from fraud by keeping passwords, PINs, and passcodes secret, even from those claiming to represent Telecel. The initiative is part of Telecel Ghana's strategy to enhance engagement with younger customers and boost usage of its digital and mobile money services.",
