Black Sherif: I don’t sing about women and sex because I have more important things to say

GHANAIAN music star Black Sherif has revealed that he avoids singing about women and sex in his music because he has more meaningful and impactful messages to convey.

In a recent interview with Graphic Showbiz, Black Sherif noted that his music is a reflection of his thoughts and experiences, and he chooses to focus on themes that inspire, educate, and uplift his audience.

Second Sermon and Soja hitmaker insists on staying intentional with his music, focusing on storytelling rather than chasing fleeting trends.

 “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,” he asserted. 

“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,” he added.

He got the nod for the prestigious BET Awards for Best International Act this year. He was nominated alongside 10 others, namely, Any Gabrielly from Brazil, Ayra Starr from Nigeria, Basky from the UK, Ezra Collective from the UK and Joé Dwèt Filé from France.

The rest are MC Luanna from Brazil, Rema from Nigeria, SDM from France, Tyla from South Africa and Uncle Waffles from Swaziland.

Although the award went to Nigeria’s Ayra Starr, Black Sherif expressed gratitude for the recognition and hinted that even bigger milestones lie ahead.

“This is just the beginning. I’m proud of how far we’ve come, but I know we’re going even further. The dream is big, and I’m just getting started,” he said
