Black Sherif has responded to those comparing him to Kinaata.
The comparison between Black Sherif and Kofi Kinaata has already started. To me, a comparison of new school artists to old legends has become a sensitive issue in the Ghanaian music industry.
When a new artiste pops up and starts getting a lot of attention in our music industry, music fanatics start to compare him or her to the legends who have stayed in the music industry for a long.

Reacting to this comparison, the “second sermon” hitmaker has cautioned Ghanaians to stop the unnecessary comparison and support Ghana music and make the industry a better one for up-and-coming creatives.
He Said;
people compare artists on this app for their own interests and y’all know that. The focus should be promoting GHANA MUSIC and making the industry a better one for up-and-coming creatives. There’s no sense in setting KILLA up for trolls. Spread love and positivity.
