Celebrated Artiste, Black Sherif, has shared his thoughts on his university education and revealed his intentions to return to school in the near future.
Speaking on Joy FM’s ‘Personality Profile’show, Black Sherif, born Mohammed Ismail Sherif Kwaku Frimpong, opened up about his time at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) and why he decided to withdraw from his academic pursuit.
Despite stepping away from his studies to focus on his rapidly rising music career, Black Sherif noted that education is not something he has dismissed entirely – and he plans to go back to school.
Black Sherif’s journey through academia was short-lived. Enrolled at UPSA in 2022, the rapper was working towards a four-year bachelor’s degree when he made the difficult decision to withdraw.
Reflecting on this period, Black Sherif admitted that leaving university was not an event marked by a formal or intense conversation.
Instead, he likened his departure to a ninja’s disappearing act – one that wasn’t explicitly discussed with his family.
“With the university thing, I feel like I smoked it up, you know when ninjas in movies they want to disappear, they drop a smoke bomb,” Black Sherif explained.
