**Kwaw Kese Reacts to Black Sherif's New Album**
Rapper Kwaw Kese has commented on the buzz around Black Sherif's new album, *Iron Boy*. The excitement largely comes from Black Sherif's bold lyrics in songs like "Where Dem Boys."
Kwaw Kese posted online, asking about a line that seems aimed at his rival. He is among many celebrities discussing Black Sherif's album.
*Iron Boy*, a 25-track album, was released on April 3. It follows a year of strategic promotion. At just 23, Black Sherif is Ghana’s most-streamed artist and has gained global recognition.
As of March 2024, the album had over a billion streams across all platforms. Social media reactions have been mixed since the album dropped.
A significant part of the discussion centers on "Where Dem Boys," track 10 of the album. In this song, Black Sherif expresses frustration with some industry colleagues.
He sings about feeling disrespected despite showing love and respect in return. The song appears to target figures like Shatta Wale, who feuded with him last year.
Black Sherif refers to one detractor as "Cowboy from Ali Express." This nickname has sparked curiosity on social media about its true identity.
Kwaw Kese referenced this nickname in his post: “Who’s the Cowboy from Ali Express? Eiii Blacko de asem aba oo ????.”
Fans reacted to Kwaw Kese’s comment with various opinions. One user said he should focus on his work instead of seeking clout.
Another questioned why he still harbors hate towards others in the industry. Some fans noted that Kwaw Kese's career seems unaffected by such shots.
Earlier, Kwaw Kese also compared himself to Kendrick Lamar amid Grammy discussions. His past achievements include winning five awards at the Ghana Music Awards in 2008.
This competition included notable artists like Becca and Ofori Amponsa for Artist of the Year. His legacy remains significant as one of few Ghanaian rappers to win this award.
