    I don’t have a problem collaborating with Black Sherif – Cecilia Marfo

    Ghanaian Gospel singer Cecilia Marfo has expressed interest in collaborating with Ghanaian music sensation Mohammed, Black Sherif.

    She was responding to the question of whether fans should expect a collaboration with him anytime soon, Cecilia responded during an interview on Bryt TV,

    “I don’t have any problem at all. I’ll be glad to meet him. We are all God’s children, and we’re all striving toward heaven. God looks at the heart, so make sure everything you do brings glory to Him. I also enjoy musicians like Daddy Lumba, Black Sherif, and others. I’m not discriminatory,” she said.

    Madam Cecilia further expressed her admiration for the Black Sherif indicating that, God is at work in his life.

    “As for Sherif, it is God who has blessed him, and no one can change that. If you are a musician, don’t be jealous of another person’s grace. If you appreciate someone’s song, praise the God who is working through them. I listen to his music.

    When his “Soma Obi” song first came out, I said God would take him far. His songs are uplifting. I listen to his music more than any other, most of the time. I enjoy highlife, and the moment I discovered him, I followed and liked him,” the gospel musician expressed.

    Meanwhile, has achieved a major milestone by becoming the most exported Ghanaian artiste in the first half of 2025.

    According to Spotify, 13 out of 15 songs on his second album “Iron Boy” were listed among the most exported Ghanaian tracks, occupying 15 of the top 19 positions on the platform’s Global Impact list.

    The album made further waves by becoming the first Ghanaian project to remain in Apple Music’s US Top 50 for two consecutive weeks and debuting at number 7 on Spotify’s Global Album Debut chart.

    Iron Boy has now surpassed 60 million streams on Spotify and climbed to number 10 on Billboard’s US World Albums chart.

    Since the release of his debut album The Villain I Never Was in October 2022, Black Sherif has consistently ranked as the most-streamed Ghanaian artiste on Spotify.

    The album itself achieved respectable success, debuting at #12 on Billboard’s World Albums and scoring a #1 hit in Nigeria with “Kwaku the Traveller”.

    However, “Iron Boy” has far outpaced its predecessor in both streaming volume and global penetration, solidifying Black Sherif as one of the most formidable artistes in the country.

    Black Sherif also revealed that his first recorded song was not welcomed by many while he was still finding his feet in the music industry.

    He says that did not discourage him because he was rather inspired by the mere fact that he had become a musician, regardless.

    During an interview with a US-based media platform, BET, the artist said, “In 2019, that was when I had my voice on a song for the first time, and I brought it to school. A lot of them didn’t like it, but I didn’t care because I finally had something to show someone that I’m a musician. I make music. It was just one song, and I was just so proud of that, and I couldn’t wait to get out of high school.”

    Just as graffiti artists use walls to reflect social or personal realities, Black Sherif said music was his way of dealing with the challenges he faced in his daily life.

    “I’m a big fan of graffiti artists and people who reflect whatever the condition or the atmosphere is. That’s what I wanted my music to be.”

    Black Sherif has since risen to prominence with hits like “First Sermon” and “Kwaku the Traveller,” blending highlife, drill, and hip-hop to tell authentic stories of resilience and identity.

    The 23-year-old is also a nominee for Best International Act at the 2025 BET Awards, competing against Tyla (South Africa), Rema (Nigeria), Any Gabrielly (Brazil), Ayra Starr (Nigeria), Basky (UK), Uncle Waffles (Swaziland), Ezra Collective (UK), Joé Dwèt Filé (France), MC, Luanna (Brazil), and SDM (France) in the category.

    The superstar continued to affirm his place as one of Africa’s most compelling musical voices with a raw, soul-stirring performance of his track ‘ONE’ on the acclaimed COLORS platform.

    Alongside confirmation of new London and Birmingham live dates, where he will headline London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire on July 4th and 5th and perform at Birmingham’s O2 Institute on July 6th, the new performance is stripped back and emotionally charged.

    Norwegian-Ghanaian musician Britz has listed Black Sherif and 5 other artists as some of the most popular Ghanaian artists currently making waves in Norway.

    Speaking in an interview on Daybreak Hitz with Andy Dosty, Britz noted that Ghanaian music is gaining significant traction among Norwegian audiences, thanks in part to social media platforms like TikTok and increased access to African content.

    “The music is becoming more popular now. I think with TikTok and the easier access people have to get insight into Africa, it’s now becoming more popular. People are now listening to the likes of King Promise, Black Sheriff, KiDi, Kojo Black, Sarkodie and, Stonebwoy,” he said.

    “Pray for your husband’s return instead of cursing me” – Diana Asamoah tells Cecilia Marfo

    Gospel musician Diana Asamoah has fired back at fellow gospel singer and prophetess Cecilia Marfo, dismissing her curses and urging her to focus on her personal struggles instead.

    “I know that what happened to Ogyaba can happen to me, but with the grace of God, it won’t manifest. That is why you have to live a righteous life,” she stated.

    Diana Asamoah also took a jab at Cecilia Marfo for allegedly using social media trends to attack her, warning that she would not hesitate to expose her wrongdoings.

    “God has brought some people into your life to correct them when they are going wrong. Recently, I saw Cecilia Marfo on social media speaking in big tongues and cursing me. Let me tell you that your tongues can’t curse me. Provided what I said is the truth, your curses won’t manifest,” she emphasized.

    She further questioned Cecilia Marfo’s priorities, suggesting that instead of using tongues to curse others, she should direct her prayers toward fixing her personal life.

    “If you know how to speak in tongues and curse others, then pray so your husband, who has abandoned you, returns home. If you want to trend on social media, do it with another person, but if you bring it to me, I will reveal your bad deeds,” she warned.

    Diana Asamoah also accused Cecilia Marfo of spiritually suppressing others to advance her own career in the gospel industry.

    “Ever since you started burying the destinies of others for your music to thrive, have you seen yours going down?” she questioned.

    Speaking in an interview with Fiifi Prat on Kingdom FM, Cecilia Marfo stressed that believers should not harshly criticize those who are not in Christ for sins such as adultery, fornication, or perceived inappropriate dressing.

    She explained that, instead of pushing people away from the gospel, Christians should focus on guiding and mentoring them gently, encouraging them toward a relationship with Christ.

    “If you judge them harshly, you push them away,” she added.

    Diana Asamoah, Cecilia Marfo are no longer on talking terms because of Mahama – Kwaku Manu alleges

    Popular Kumawood actor and media personality, Kwaku Manu, recently shed light on the longstanding feud between Gospel musicians Diana Asamoah and Cecilia Marfo, attributing the discord to a past incident involving former president John Dramani Mahama.

    In a viral self-recorded video, Kwaku Manu expressed his perspective on the matter, placing blame on Evangelist Diana Asamoah for the continuous animosity between the two gospel artists.

    According to him, Asamoah’s tendency to create issues with her colleagues, including the ongoing attacks on Evangelist Edward Akwasi Boateng, marked her as a source of trouble.

    The genesis of the feud, as outlined by Kwaku Manu, can be traced back to a benevolent gesture by former president John Dramani Mahama towards Cecilia Marfo during a time of need.

    Marfo, appreciative of the assistance, publicly thanked the former president, which allegedly sparked resentment from Diana Asamoah.

    “The woman had a problem, and former president Mahama gave her some money or something, and she came out to thank him, that is all,” Kwaku Manu explained in the video.

    Kwaku Manu’s revelation suggests that Diana Asamoah’s discontent with Cecilia Marfo stems from the latter’s acknowledgment of Mahama’s support.

    As a result, Diana Asamoah allegedly initiated unnecessary fights and conflicts with Cecilia Marfo.

    The disclosure by Kwaku Manu adds a new layer to the ongoing feud between the two gospel musicians, providing insight into the root cause and shedding light on the dynamics within the gospel music industry.

    “To date, the only song that inspires me is ‘Efunumuba’. God takes you through suffering and then it transcends to grace. So, stay strong. God will never disgrace you, there is nothing they haven’t said about me. But if God has called you, no man can destroy you. We know those who are anointed and no man can destroy that.

  • Gospel Beef: You need a new baptism -Cecilia Marfo spits venom at Diana Asamoah

    Musician cum Evangelist, Cecilia Marfo says Diana Asamoah needs to be baptized again. Some weeks ago, Diana Asamoah in an interview called on her colleague, Cecilia Marfo to desist from spitting into the mouths of her congregants in the name of deliverance.

    Her comment did not sit down well with some Christians who thought if she has something against her fellow Christian, she should have gone to her to make it known.

    Reacting to the claims by Diana Asamoah, she said the musician [Diana Asamoah] needs to be baptized again because a good Christian does not speak anyhow like she did.

    She noted that good Christians will not speak ill of their colleagues no matter the circumstances but will rather join forces to push the Kingdom business to a higher height.

    Cecilia Marfo advised Diana Asamoah to focus on spreading the gospel in order to save those who are lost souls rather than talk ill about people because Jesus will be coming very soon.
