Ghanaian dancehall star Shatta Wale has sent a strong message of support to
Black Sherif following the release of the latter’s new album, “Iron Boy,” which
dropped on April 3, 2025. Despite ongoing rumours and online chatter suggesting
that one of the songs on the album contains subtle jabs directed at Shatta
Wale, the outspoken artist chose to silence the noise and uplift his younger
colleague.
Shortly after the album's release, music lovers and social media users began
dissecting the lyrics of various tracks, particularly zeroing in on one titled
“Where Dem Boyz.” A specific line sparked debate across platforms. The lyric in
question reads, “Cowboy from Aliexpress, if you claim you are the savior, save
yourself.” Many assumed this line was directed at Shatta Wale, leading to
speculations about brewing tension between the two prominent figures in Ghana's
music industry.
But instead of reacting negatively, Shatta Wale responded with maturity and
optimism. Taking to his official X account, the “On God” hitmaker congratulated
Black Sherif on his successful album launch. He dismissed the interpretation
that the young singer was targeting him with any form of disrespect and urged
the public not to fuel unnecessary rivalries between artists.
In his post, Shatta Wale wrote that he had not personally heard Black Sherif
mention his name or speak ill of him. He emphasized that he is far too focused
on business and his career to entertain petty distractions or false narratives
pushed by fans online. He described those spreading the rumors as jobless and
warned against believing every agenda that trends on social media.
He encouraged Black Sherif to remain focused, work harder, and ignore the
negativity. Referring to him as “lil one,” Shatta Wale expressed genuine joy
over the quality of work put into the album and wished Black Sherif success. He
ended his message by reminding everyone of the power of unity and
business-minded thinking in the music industry.
Shatta Wale’s message read: “If you follow Ghanaians, you will even think
God is your enemy. Congrats on this masterpiece lil one. Go hard and don’t
stop. I never hear say you say Shatta Wale this, Shatta that, but as usual,
those unemployed Ghanaians deh try push agenda. I am too bank-minded for
nonsense. Just do your thing my G! SM4LYF. Let’s make da kwacha hard in their
faces. Who lose now?”
The “Iron Boy” album has been highly anticipated and features fifteen tracks
that explore themes of love, growth, pain, and survival. Each song carries
Black Sherif’s signature sound—raw emotion, storytelling, and unique delivery.
The young artist uses this project to share his life journey, touching on
struggles, ambition, and the desire to overcome every obstacle in his path.
The album has already started gaining massive traction on digital platforms
and receiving praise from fans and critics alike. Many have applauded Black
Sherif for staying true to his roots while experimenting with new sounds and
deeper messages. Others have noted his growing maturity and lyrical strength as
a sign that the Ghanaian music industry is entering a new and exciting phase.
Despite the tension that some fans tried to create between the two artists,
the interaction between Shatta Wale and Black Sherif has set a positive tone.
In an industry often filled with rivalry and competition, moments like this
remind music lovers of the importance of support, especially among talents from
the same country.
Shatta Wale’s mature approach to the situation has earned him praise from
many online users. His decision to ignore the alleged shade and instead uplift
Black Sherif shows growth and leadership. It also sends a strong message to
fans who often pit artists against each other to spark unnecessary conflict for
entertainment.
As both artists continue to shine in their respective lanes, fans hope to
see more unity and maybe even a future collaboration between Shatta Wale and
Black Sherif. For now, the release of “Iron Boy” marks a big step forward for
Black Sherif, while Shatta Wale’s response shows that sometimes the best way to
silence negativity is with positivity.
