Black Sherif explains his decision to refrain from singing about sex and women.
Ghanaian music star Black Sherif has disclosed that he purposefully steers clear of singing about sex and women because he feels his songs ought to convey deeper and more powerful messages.
The Second Sermon and Soja hitmaker revealed in a recent interview with Graphic Showbiz that his songs are a true representation of his ideas and experiences in life. He decides to focus his music on subjects that inspire, inform, and have a profound emotional impact on his audience.
”I don’t write songs about women or sex because I have more important things to say. My goal is to connect with people through messages they can relate to—real-life struggles, sacrifices, dreams, and victories. I believe that’s the kind of music that stands the test of time”
When I sit down to write, I’m deliberate about the messages I want to convey. I don’t compromise my artistic integrity for temporary fame. That’s what drives me to keep pushing the boundaries of my art and staying true to myself
In addition to his lyrical style, Black Sherif is still well-known throughout the world. Alongside Any Gabrielly (Brazil), Ayra Starr (Nigeria), Basky (UK), Ezra Collective (UK), and Joé Dwèt Filé (France), he was nominated for the 2025 BET Award for Best International Act.
Uncle Waffles (Eswatini), Rema (Nigeria), SDM (France), Tyla (South Africa), and MC Luanna (Brazil) were among the other nominees. Even though Ayra Starr of Nigeria won in the end, Black Sherif was thankful for the recognition on a global scale.
