Ghanaian social commentator Kevin Taylor has lashed out at Black Sherif after listening to the musician's sophomore album, Iron Boy.

Black Sherif's 15-track album, released on April 3, 2025, has received strong attention online, with fans praising songs like The Victory Song, Top of the Morning, Sacrifice, and Where Them Boyz.

The Iron Boy album has already started striding on global charts following the huge success of Black Sherif's debut album The Villain I Never Was, which had a billion streams as of 2024, two years after its release.

According to Kevin Taylor, Black Sherif's album lacked substance, describing some of his statements as unnecessary.

In a video sighted by YEN.com.gh, Kevin Taylor, who still holds Black Sherif in high esteem, established that the Iron Boy album paled in quality as compared to The Villain I Never Was.

The social commentator centered his remarks on the lyrics from Black Sherif's Where Dem Boyz which is believed to be a jab at Shatta Wale after their rift.

"With all due respect to your talent, all the songs on the album sound the same. Sometimes one song ends, and I don't know when the next one comes. Your first album was solid, but with this one, I feel it is getting into your head," Kevin Taylor added.

Speaking to YEN.com.gh about Black Sherif's album, entertainment analyst Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh said "Numbers don't lie. The album's success in these past few weeks is unprecedented. He's on his way to set a new live concert record in London. I believe personal opinions about people's art is fair however as people with audiences, we need to be more responsible."
