Popular Ghanaian musician, Black Sherif, could not hold back his tears while performing his hit song ‘One’ from his ‘Iron Boy’ album.

The Ghanaian music sensation, who performed in London, wore a dark suit, headgear with a white shawl underneath it.

In a video on X, Black Sherif started singing ‘One’, which is seen to be an emotional song by many.

While the performance was ongoing, Blacko stopped at a point to wipe his tears. He continued singing, but the tears did not stop flowing.

At a point, Black Sherif’s hand could be seen trembling while holding the microphone and the stand. He held on tightly so he would not lose his grip.

Throughout the time, the crowd cheered him on and sang along as a way of encouraging him to continue.

In another video on X, @kobe_boujee88 explained why the song got Black Sherif emotional.

He explained that ‘One’ is a song narrating a chapter in his life with a focus on his relationship with Black Sherif's parents, especially his father.

He said the song recounts how Black Sherif’s father lost everything he had in a fire, which caused him to travel and live with extended family members.

“He was talking about his father and how they got disconnected. It is talking about how he and his father were one, now his father had to leave home. When someone drops an album, you have to listen to the whole thing. It’s more than rhythm and beats. This is the life story of this guy, and that is why he was emotional performing the song.”
