The highly awaited debut album from Ghanaian rapper Black Sherif, real name Mohammed Ismail Sheriff, has been made available.
His big singles Soja, Kwaku The Traveller, and Second Sermon Remix with Burna Boy are among the 14 songs on the album The Villain I Never Was.
The album The Villain I Never Was has been trending on several streaming services since its midnight release on Thursday, October 5, 2022.
The album established a record on the Apple Music UK albums chart just over 24 hours after its release. On the chart, it peaked at position nine.
According to Charts Africa, Black Sherif’s album peaked at number 9 on Apple Music UK, the highest rank ever for a Ghanaian artist.
Oh Paradise, one of the songs, was really written in honour of his high school sweetheart, Clementina Konadu, who passed away in 2017.
Blacko grieved in the song why Tina had abandoned him and gone to be with her maker while he had hopes of being married to her.
Clementina Konadu, a young woman who schooled at Kumasi Academy, was the rapper’s high school sweetheart, but she passed away before their romance could develop.
On December 5, 2017, Clementina, also referred to by her friends as Akua Thuglyf, passed away.
She was 17 years old as at the time of passing. Clementina attended Kumasi Academy and was Black Sherif’s classmate.
She was beginning the first semester of her sophomore year in high school. Clementina’s death was a tragic one as she passed after a disease broke out in the school.
KUMACA Disease Outbreak
You may remember that Kumasi Academy reported an alarming number of student fatalities in 2017. 11 students lost their lives as a result of the deaths, which began in April and continued for months, while numerous others were hospitalized.
Although there were initially several reasons given for the tragic fatalities, later examinations showed that the deaths were caused by an outbreak of the H1N1 flu and meningitis.
