Ghana’s music is on fire, and this time, it’s Black Sherif at the center of it all.
His latest track, Where Them Boyz, is already making waves, but not just for its infectious rhythm it’s the lyrics that have everyone talking.
From the moment the song dropped, speculation started swirling about whether Black Sherif was throwing subliminal shots at certain figures in the industry.
Many believe Where Them Boyz is a response to the so called “gatekeepers” of Ghana’s music scene those who, according to critics, claim to support young talents but end up blocking their progress when they start to shine.
One line in particular “They dey cry over gatekeeping then grow and do the same, took you so long to take off your Santa face” has sparked heated debates.
Fans and industry insiders alike are convinced this is a jab at an established artist who once preached unity but is now accused of stifling up-and-coming talents.
Is Shatta Wale the Target?
Among the many names being thrown around as potential targets of Black Sherif’s lyrics, one stands out: Shatta Wale.
The controversial artist has never shied away from beef, and over the years, he’s had his fair share of clashes with fellow Ghanaian musicians.
Some listeners claim the song is filled with subliminals aimed at him, particularly the mention of a “cowboy from Aliexpress,” which some interpret as a mockery of Wale’s style and persona.
But not everyone sees Where Them Boyz as a diss track. Some fans argue that the song is simply Black Sherif speaking his truth calling out hypocrisy in the industry and demanding better treatment for rising stars.
Supporters believe he is standing up for the next generation of artists who are tired of being overlooked.
The Industry Reacts
As expected, the song has divided opinions. Some believe Black Sherif is stirring up unnecessary drama, while others see it as a powerful message from an artist who refuses to be silenced.
The lyrics suggest deep frustration with the industry’s politics, and for many, it’s a much-needed wake-up call.
Whether Where Them Boyz is a direct diss or just a bold statement about the struggles of young artists, one thing is certain Black Sherif is making himself heard, and the industry is paying attention.
So, is this the beginning of a new beef, or just a passionate outcry for change? One thing is for sure: Ghanaian music just got a lot more interesting.
