Black Sherif’s latest album, “Iron Boy,” has ignited a social media frenzy, with the song “Wer Dem Boyz” at the center of the storm.
Online sleuths are convinced the track is a thinly veiled attack on Shatta Wale. Lyrics referencing an “AliExpress cowboy” and a unity-preaching fighter are being linked to Shatta Wale’s past work and persona.
This comes after Shatta Wale’s public criticisms of Black Sherif, leading to widespread speculation of a musical counterpunch.
The spotlight now turns to Shatta Wale, with fans eagerly anticipating his reaction.
Beyond the controversy, “Iron Boy,” a moniker honoring Highlife legend Amakye Dede’s hometown, depicts Black Sherif’s signature storytelling, musical versatility, and exploration of resonant themes.
The album, blending Afrobeats with mega melodies, reinforces Black Sherif’s position as a consequential voice in African music.
