‘Soja’ hitmaker, Black Sherif has revealed that he consciously avoids singing about women and sex, as he believes his music should carry more profound and impactful messages.
In an interview with Graphic Showbiz which was monitored by The Chronicle, Kweku the traveller as he is nicknamed shared that his songs are a direct reflection of his thoughts and life experiences. He chooses to centre his music on themes that motivate, educate and resonate deeply with his listeners.
“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.”
Black Sherif stressed that his songwriting is intentional and that he prioritises authenticity over following trends.
“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.”
