Following the release of Black Sherif’s new album Iron Boy, which has caused quite a stir in the music industry, Shatta Wale has reacted to speculation that the young artist took jabs at him and other prominent figures in the scene.
Shatta Wale, addressing the rumors on Twitter, dismissed the idea that Black Sherif was aiming his lyrics at him.
He expressed his frustration with Ghanaians, stating that people were simply trying to create a rivalry where none existed.
Wale went on to congratulate Black Sherif on his success, encouraging him to continue making his mark in the industry. He urged people not to read too much into the song’s lyrics, adding that his fellow artist should ignore the noise and keep pushing forward.
The controversy arose after the release of Black Sherif’s track Where Them Boyz, where fans speculated that the lyrics targeted Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy.
In the song, Sherif seems to criticize an unnamed artist who had spoken ill of him but still tried to get close.
Fans quickly linked this to Shatta Wale’s distinctive cowboy persona from his Gringo video, making the connection between the phrase “cowboy from Ali Express” and Wale’s image.
In addition, other lines in the song led some to believe that Black Sherif was also referencing Stonebwoy, particularly a segment about an artist who had once complained about gatekeeping but later engaged in similar behavior after rising to fame.
Despite the online debates, Black Sherif’s album has received widespread attention and praise for its bold themes and powerful lyrics.
However, Shatta Wale’s comments show that the supposed tension between the two artists may not be as serious as many have assumed.
