Ghanaian music sensation Black Sherif has vehemently denied allegations that he manipulates streaming numbers to enhance his digital presence. In a strong rebuttal, the hitmaker of “Second Sermon” and “Soja” called the claims “baseless and deeply insulting,” asserting that his success stems from genuine hard work and artistic authenticity.
Currently enjoying widespread acclaim with his sophomore album Iron Boy, Black Sherif’s influence in the global music scene continues to rise. Six songs from Iron Boy occupy the top six spots on both Boomplay and Apple Music Ghana’s Top 100 charts. The album has also made a notable impact internationally, debuting at number six on Spotify UK’s Top Debut Albums and entering the Billboard World Albums Chart at number 10.

Since its release, Iron Boy has amassed over 80 million streams on Audiomack. Despite these achievements, some critics have suggested that Black Sherif’s swift ascent may be attributable to artificial methods. However, he refuted these claims in an exclusive interview with Graphic Showbiz on June 9, 2025.

“Honestly, that’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. My success is 100 percent organic. I put my blood, sweat, and tears into every note, every lyric, and every performance,” he stated. He attributes his growing fanbase to “hard work, consistency, and staying true to himself,” rather than any manipulative tactics.
