NEW MUSIC: Black Sherif Unleashes His ‘Pop Star’ Moves with new Single

Ghanaian music sensation Black Sherif has kicked off 2026 with the release of his new single “Pop Star,” produced by Joker Nharnah and launched through RBA/Empire.

This release follows the massive success of his sophomore album, Iron Boy, which dominated streaming platforms and charts worldwide. With “Pop Star,” Black Sherif explores fresh musical styles while staying true to the authentic sound that has won him fans across continents, reflecting both the challenges and determination of rising fame.

Iron Boy solidified Black Sherif’s status as one of Africa’s most powerful voices, blending raw lyricism with genre-crossing production and deeply personal stories. The album achieved impressive chart positions, including #6 on Spotify UK Top Albums, #10 on Billboard World Albums, and #5 on the Nigerian Top 100 albums. It also set a record as the first Ghanaian album to reach 2 million streams on its first day. His Iron Boy Tour broke records with sold-out shows across North America, Europe, and Ghana, culminating in a homecoming concert that drew 30,000 fans.

Black Sherif described “Pop Star” as a way to reconnect with the artist he aspired to be before moving to the city, showing his continued growth and evolution. Since gaining global recognition with hits like “Second Sermon” featuring Burna Boy and “Kwaku The Traveller,” he has crafted a unique sound that fuses drill, highlife, hip-hop, and Afrobeats. This new single marks another exciting chapter in his rising international career.
