Prolific Nigerian artiste, Joeboy has disclosed that the music style of Ghana’s rising star, Black Sherif has caught his attention and as such, hinted that he will collaborate with the ‘Sermon’ hitmaker.
Speaking in an interview, Joeboy who is currently in Ghana revealed that he has been communicating with Black Sherif for some time now and is ready to “link up” with him before he leaves the country.
Joeboy explained that even though he did not understand some lyrics in Black Sherif’s songs, he understood on a “soul level”. According to him, he felt the passion and emotions in the songs are unmatched, and that makes it relatable.
“Before then, when I listen to his songs, I didn’t know what he was talking about, but I felt the emotions and passion within the song. I felt like he is really talented. I kind of relate to his energy and passion in his songs, and I like the sound he makes. His sounds are different”.
Joeboy speaking of his newly released music titled ‘Alcohol’, said it is inspired by the yearning for growth on the side of every human and not going back to old practices and deeds. He also noted that the song symbolizes the peace of mind people want to have after the turbulent times of their lives.
“The chorus of the music kept coming into my head. We as a people, do not want to go back to our old ways. We always want to keep growing, so I decided to make a song about it so everybody can relate. As a musician, people relate with you more when you tell your story”.
The ‘Beginning’ hitmaker empahsized that he is not advocating for drunkards but detailing why he sips his alcohol to forget his old ways and practices.
“This particular song is rated 18 and not for kids. I did not say you should drink alcohol. I just said why I sip my alcohol”.
Undoubtedly, Joeboy’s songs, which are often love-centric in nature, possess infectious melodies that hit everyone who comes across his music. The ‘Nobody’ hitmaker stated that his music is infectious because he does songs that he can personally relate to; making them very original.
Well, the Nigerian singer also chose to be versatile while being a musician. Joeboy revealed that he will soon venture into the acting space and will want to play romantic roles. He added that he would want to marry a Ghanaian woman named ‘Adwoa’ or ‘Abena.’
He disclosed that already, he has received offers for roles in movies; however, he was not so excited to play those roles.
“At some point, I want to branch into other factors of the entertainment industry like fashion or acting. I have been getting some offers for acting but the roles are not what I want to debut in. I want a role that people will not expect. I don’t want a role as a musician. I want it to be a different role”.
When questioned on whether he was good at acting, his response was, “I am learning to act. I won’t say I am the best but I can pass when it comes to acting”.
