Ghanaian Gospel singer Cecilia Marfo has expressed interest in collaborating with Ghanaian music sensation Mohammed, Black Sherif.

She was responding to the question of whether fans should expect a collaboration with him anytime soon, Cecilia responded during an interview on Bryt TV,

"I don’t have any problem at all. I’ll be glad to meet him. We are all God’s children, and we’re all striving toward heaven. God looks at the heart, so make sure everything you do brings glory to Him. I also enjoy musicians like Daddy Lumba, Black Sherif, and others. I’m not discriminatory," she said.

Madam Cecilia further expressed her admiration for the Black Sherif indicating that, God is at work in his life.

"As for Sherif, it is God who has blessed him, and no one can change that. If you are a musician, don’t be jealous of another person’s grace. If you appreciate someone’s song, praise the God who is working through them. I listen to his music.

When his “Soma Obi” song first came out, I said God would take him far. His songs are uplifting. I listen to his music more than any other, most of the time. I enjoy highlife, and the moment I discovered him, I followed and liked him," the gospel musician expressed.

Meanwhile, has achieved a major milestone by becoming the most exported Ghanaian artiste in the first half of 2025.

According to Spotify, 13 out of 15 songs on his second album "Iron Boy" were listed among the most exported Ghanaian tracks, occupying 15 of the top 19 positions on the platform's Global Impact list.

The album made further waves by becoming the first Ghanaian project to remain in Apple Music’s US Top 50 for two consecutive weeks and debuting at number 7 on Spotify’s Global Album Debut chart.

Iron Boy has now surpassed 60 million streams on Spotify and climbed to number 10 on Billboard’s US World Albums chart.

Since the release of his debut album The Villain I Never Was in October 2022, Black Sherif has consistently ranked as the most-streamed Ghanaian artiste on Spotify.

The album itself achieved respectable success, debuting at #12 on Billboard’s World Albums and scoring a #1 hit in Nigeria with “Kwaku the Traveller”.

However, “Iron Boy” has far outpaced its predecessor in both streaming volume and global penetration, solidifying Black Sherif as one of the most formidable artistes in the country.

Black Sherif also revealed that his first recorded song was not welcomed by many while he was still finding his feet in the music industry.

He says that did not discourage him because he was rather inspired by the mere fact that he had become a musician, regardless.

During an interview with a US-based media platform, BET, the artist said, “In 2019, that was when I had my voice on a song for the first time, and I brought it to school. A lot of them didn't like it, but I didn't care because I finally had something to show someone that I'm a musician. I make music. It was just one song, and I was just so proud of that, and I couldn't wait to get out of high school.”

Just as graffiti artists use walls to reflect social or personal realities, Black Sherif said music was his way of dealing with the challenges he faced in his daily life.

"I'm a big fan of graffiti artists and people who reflect whatever the condition or the atmosphere is. That's what I wanted my music to be.”

Black Sherif has since risen to prominence with hits like "First Sermon" and "Kwaku the Traveller," blending highlife, drill, and hip-hop to tell authentic stories of resilience and identity.

The 23-year-old is also a nominee for Best International Act at the 2025 BET Awards, competing against Tyla (South Africa), Rema (Nigeria), Any Gabrielly (Brazil), Ayra Starr (Nigeria), Basky (UK), Uncle Waffles (Swaziland), Ezra Collective (UK), Joé Dwèt Filé (France), MC, Luanna (Brazil), and SDM (France) in the category.

The superstar continued to affirm his place as one of Africa’s most compelling musical voices with a raw, soul-stirring performance of his track ‘ONE’ on the acclaimed COLORS platform.

Alongside confirmation of new London and Birmingham live dates, where he will headline London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire on July 4th and 5th and perform at Birmingham’s O2 Institute on July 6th, the new performance is stripped back and emotionally charged.

Norwegian-Ghanaian musician Britz has listed Black Sherif and 5 other artists as some of the most popular Ghanaian artists currently making waves in Norway.

Speaking in an interview on Daybreak Hitz with Andy Dosty, Britz noted that Ghanaian music is gaining significant traction among Norwegian audiences, thanks in part to social media platforms like TikTok and increased access to African content.

"The music is becoming more popular now. I think with TikTok and the easier access people have to get insight into Africa, it's now becoming more popular. People are now listening to the likes of King Promise, Black Sheriff, KiDi, Kojo Black, Sarkodie and, Stonebwoy,” he said.
