For all his fame and acclaim, Ghanaian rapper and singer Black Sherif, known to fans as Blacko, still grapples with a surprising personal dilemma—his mother hasn’t fully embraced his rise to stardom.
“My mom still doesn’t know that I’m Black Sherif,” he confessed with a laugh during an interview on 3FM. “I feel like she needs some time to really accept that this is who I am now.”
Black Sherif’s journey to becoming a household name has been nothing short of phenomenal, with hits like Kwaku the Traveller catapulting him to global recognition. Yet, behind the chart-topping music lies a mother’s concern for her son, compounded by the harsh realities of public scrutiny.
“She goes vex sometimes. She sees things on the internet, and it worries her,” Black Sherif revealed. His lyrics often reflect personal experiences, and while they resonate deeply with fans, they occasionally stir emotions closer to home.
The young artist admitted he’s made certain choices out of respect for his mother’s feelings. “There are so many things I’ve not done because of my mom,” he shared, highlighting the delicate balance he maintains between his public persona and his private life.
