Wei ye Oteng, a Ghanaian beat producer, has stated that fast-rising musician Black Sherif holds nothing special to merit the hype Ghanaians are showering him with.

In the view of the CEO of Drum Lyne Music facility, Black Sherif is gaining popularity because of human curiosity.

Oteng maintained in Showbiz927 on 3FM that Black Sherif only gained huge streaming numbers because of his song with Nigerian Afrobeat giant Burna Boy.

Oteng said: “Black Sherif is good. I mean, the likes of Kwadee were unique just like Black Sherif is, but whichever sound they had, or playing around with, was already in there. So we appreciate that. Now, if you have an affiliation with Burna Boy just upon releasing two songs into the mainstream, the whole world would want to listen to you.

“The whole world would want to know what is under your sleeve, not because they believe that you are extremely the “ish” (good), but they know that you are positive and you are on the path to greatness and that you need support. So, everything that you do, based on the type of affiliation you have, they troop in to come and listen and then to make their own judgment.”

He, however, agreed that Black Sherif has talent and has produced a good album but he fears the over-hype Ghanaians are giving him will make him feel complacent and that will ruin his career.

“For the truth, I think this guy is doing very well, but let’s not lift him beyond where he is supposed to be. If we do that and complacency sets in, we will kill him before his time.

“He has a good album, but trust me, a lot of these streams are out of curiosity and affiliation with the choice of brands that he has associated himself with. And we shouldn’t forget, he is on one of the biggest labels that are well endowed to reach out to any place in the world that they want to,” Wei Ye Oteng insisted.

Wei Ye Oteng’s comment comes after Ghanaian musician Reggie Rockstone advised Black Sherif to create a new genre and document his music under it because no musician sounds like him.
