Award-winning Ghanaian musician Black Sherif has opened up about his views on marriage, revealing that his future partner will be chosen based purely on love rather than religious background or societal expectations.
In a resurfaced interview that has sparked conversations online, the “Kwaku The Traveller” hitmaker spoke candidly about relationships, marriage and what truly matters to him when it comes to choosing a life partner.
According to Black Sherif, religion will not influence his decision on whom to marry, insisting that emotional connection and genuine love remain his top priorities.
“I’m marrying who I love. Trust me, it’s non-negotiable whether Christian or Muslim,” he stated during the interview.
The singer’s comments have generated mixed reactions on social media, with some fans praising his honesty and open-mindedness while others debated the role religion should play in relationships and marriage.
Black Sherif, who has become known for expressing deep emotions and personal reflections through his music, explained that love would always come first in his personal life regardless of external pressure or expectations.
When questioned about when he intends to settle down, the award-winning artiste admitted that he has no fixed plans or timeline for marriage at the moment.
Instead, he said he believes marriage will happen naturally at the right time according to God’s plan.
“As for when I will marry, ask me later. For now, it’s in my Maker’s hands,” he added.
The musician’s remarks reflect his calm and spiritually grounded outlook on life despite his rapid rise to fame and success within the entertainment industry.
Black Sherif has over the past few years emerged as one of the most influential young artists in Africa, earning admiration for his storytelling ability, emotional lyrics and unique fusion of drill, highlife and Afro-fusion sounds.
Known for hit songs such as “Second Sermon,” “Oil In My Head,” “Kwaku The Traveller” and “Sacrifice,” the Konongo-born artist continues to enjoy massive success both locally and internationally.
His popularity soared even further after winning the coveted Artist of the Year award at the 2026 Telecel Ghana Music Awards, where he also picked up several other honours including Songwriter of the Year and Album/EP of the Year for Iron Boy.
Despite his growing fame, Black Sherif has consistently maintained a private approach to his personal relationships, rarely discussing romance publicly.
