However, the Ghanaian musician has finally put the speculation to rest.
In a recent exclusive interview with Zionfelix on the Uncut Show, Black Sherif revealed that “One” was born out of a painful real-life experience that struck his family at the very core.
The award-winning artist disclosed that his dad suffered a devastating loss when his garage, located in Greece, was destroyed by fire. The incident, he said, shook the entire family and left them emotionally broken.
Black Sherif recounted how the constant phone calls from his mother during that difficult period affected him deeply.
Hearing the pain, fear, and uncertainty in her voice left him emotionally disturbed and helpless, especially because he was not physically present to support them.
In his words, turning that pain into music was the best decision he could make at the time. It helped him process the loss, confront his fears, and speak honestly about a moment when life humbled him completely.
