Black Sherif Voices Discontent Over Leaked Songs, Urges Fans to Enjoy
Ghanaian artiste, Black Sherif, recently took a stand against the unauthorized leakage of his songs ahead of their official release. The rising star, known for hits like ‘Kweku Killer’ and ‘Kwaku The Traveller,’ expressed his frustration with the perpetrators, whom he referred to as ‘Babylons,’ during a performance at the University of Ghana on July 22, 2023.
Despite his evident displeasure over the leaks, Black Sherif surprised his fans by encouraging them to enjoy the leaked music nevertheless. During his performance, he even treated the enthusiastic crowd to one of the leaked tracks, titled “Bad Bitches,” which garnered thunderous applause from his devoted supporters.
In a candid statement, Black Sherif revealed that some of the leaked songs were recorded as far back as three years ago, suggesting that these Babylons had managed to obtain and share his unreleased music over an extended period. Nonetheless, he made it clear that the leaked tracks did not receive his official stamp of approval.
He emphasized to his fans that if they stumbled upon the leaked songs, they should feel free to enjoy them. However, he urged them to pay attention to his official social media channels for updates on official releases, implying that not all leaked tracks would be part of his formal discography.
As an up-and-coming artist in the music industry, Black Sherif’s experience echoes that of other musicians, including renowned acts like Sarkodie, who have also fallen victim to unauthorized song leaks.
The incident serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges artists face in protecting their creative work and maintaining control over their musical journey. It highlights the persistent issue of piracy and the importance of respecting artists’ intellectual property rights.
While the leaked songs may provide a momentary thrill for fans, it is essential to support artists by waiting for official releases and streaming their music through legitimate channels. By doing so, fans can contribute to the success and growth of their favorite musicians, ensuring they continue to produce the music that resonates with their audiences.
Looking forward, Black Sherif remains undeterred by the setbacks caused by the leaks and revealed plans to release more songs in the upcoming weeks. For his eager audience, this serves as a promise of exciting new music to come, reinforcing the idea that respecting artists’ creative process ultimately benefits everyone involved in the music industry.
