Stop comparing me to senior artists — Black Sherif warn fans

Fast-rising rapper, Black Sherif has asked his fans to refrain from comparing his career to senior artistes such as Stonebwoy and Sarkodie.

Twitter after the young talent’s introduction to the music scenes has always been buzzing with loads of reactions from netizens.

Some have praised the youngster for continuous releases of good music and most importantly his latest street jam, ‘Kweku The Traveller’ which became a viral global hit.

In the process, some netizens have compared the young talent’s success to that of some senior artistes.

Some say ‘Blacko’ as he is affectionately called by many has done what some A-List artists like Shatta Wale, Stonebwoy, Sarkodie, Lumba, and others couldn’t do.

Their comparisons escalated when the rapper topped the Apple Music chart in Nigeria.

Speaking on the reactions of netizens, Black Sherif believes that it is disrespectful and needless for his career to be pitched against the seniors.

“That’s being disrespectful and there is no need for it. People that really love me don’t do that. All those things are for retweets, likes, and reactions. I don’t believe in such things,” he stated during an interview on Ghanaweb’s Talkertainemnt show.

The rapper added that he prefers not to be categorized as is being done by some netizens.

“I don’t believe in categories. I don’t know why but I don’t believe in categorizing artists. Everyone is unique in his own way. These are things we create in our head,” he said.
