‘I would’ve been selling spare parts or clothes if I hadn’t pursued music’ – Black Sherif

Ghanaian musician Black Sherif has opened up on how his future would have like had he not pursued a career in music.

Speaking in an interview, the ‘Konongo Zongo’ hitmaker said he would likely be selling second-hand clothes in Accra or working in his father’s spare parts business.

“If I weren’t doing music right now, I would probably be hustling crazy, doing clothes stuff in Accra or maybe if I wasn’t in Accra, I would be selling my daddy’s tyres in Konongo.

“My dad sells spare engines, spare parts and that stuff, that’s a family business,” he stated.

Black Sherif also reflected on his senior high school days in Kumasi, revealing that despite being a boarding student, he often sneaked out of school to engage in activities such as gambling and dancing, particularly around the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).

“Back in high school, I didn’t really like to stay in school. I used to sneak out to go dance or gamble in Tech,” he shared with a laugh.

Meanwhile, Black Sherif is currently on a European tour promoting his newly released album ‘Iron Boy’, which dropped on April 3, 2025.
