The controversy arose following the release of the track Where Them Boyz from Black Sherif’s Iron Boy album.

The rumours gained traction on social media, largely due to the tense history between the two artistes. In the past, Shatta Wale openly criticised Black Sherif’s fashion choices during an appearance on Glitch Africa’s Rants, Bants and Confessions podcast. He also made social media remarks suggesting that he could end Black Sherif’s career, leading many to believe there was ongoing friction between them.

In response to the rumours, Shatta Wale took to social media to refute the claims, stating that Black Sherif had never shown him any disrespect. He dismissed the speculation as baseless, insisting that it was being fuelled by individuals with nothing productive to do.

He also praised Iron Boy, describing it as a powerful album and encouraging Black Sherif to stay focused and ignore negativity. “I am only focused on making money and have no time for unnecessary drama,” he stated, adding that those spreading the false claims were simply jobless.
