Ghanaian music sensation Black Sherif has strongly rejected accusations that he manipulates streaming numbers to boost his digital presence.
In an emphatic rebuttal, the Second Sermon and Soja hitmaker described the allegations as “baseless and deeply insulting”, asserting that his achievements are the result of genuine hard work and artistic authenticity.
Currently enjoying widespread success following the release of his sophomore album Iron Boy, Black Sherif’s influence on the global music scene continues to soar.
At present, six songs from Iron Boy occupy the top six positions on both Boomplay and Apple Music Ghana’s Top 100 charts. The album also made an impressive debut on international platforms—landing at number six on Spotify UK’s Top Debut Albums and entering the Billboard World Albums Chart at number 10.
In addition, Iron Boy has accumulated over 80 million streams on Audiomack since its release.
Despite these notable achievements, some detractors have suggested that Black Sherif’s rapid rise might be driven by artificial methods.
“Honestly, that’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. My success is 100 per cent organic. I put my blood, sweat and tears into every note, every lyric and every performance.”
He went on to credit his growing fanbase to “hard work, consistency, and staying true to himself”, rather than any form of manipulation.
