Ghanaian Afro-fusion star Black Sherif joins Dadaboy Ehiz via FaceTime on Apple Music 1 to talk dee his latest album, The Villian I Never Was.

Black Sherf discussed the mood behind his new album, ‘The Villain I Never Was,’ and why he had just Burna Boy as a feature.

“I really needed to know myself and explore everything in me before I can start sharing out for people to help me tell my story. Music for me has always been very personal, like a safe haven for me to talk my insecurities, things I can’t say outside, so to get someone on a record with me, I just feel like they can’t help me tell my story.”

“That’s why I went real solo on the album – you know the “Second Sermon (Remix)” with Burna was the only feature on this album. I want people to know my perspectives on life, to actually brief them on what I know, what I’ve seen, what I believe in and how I’m doing. But soon, collaborations are gonna come, trust me.”

Speaking on Why he named the album “The Villian I Never Was”, Blacko said he spoke his truth in the project and sang about his insecurities, including being demonized by people and himself.

“All of the times I’m the villain – in my story, in people’s story – everywhere I’m the villain, but when I sit and think about it I know “Nah bro, I don’t just wake up to be a villain.” I’m fighting for my life, I’m trying to make sense, I’m trying to be a better person so I really wasn’t the villain that people paint me to be or that myself is telling me. I’m not the villain.”
