<p>The Ghanaian singer Sherif Ismail Mohammed, also known as Black Sherif, has provided an explanation for his frequent use of the names &#8220;Kwaku,&#8221; &#8220;Frimpong,&#8221; and &#8220;Kwaku Killa (KK)&#8221; in his work.</p>



<p><em><strong>“As you can see, I frequently use Kwaku, KK,”</strong></em> he said.</p>



<p>In an interview with Spotify RADAR Africa that was published on YouTube on December 14, 2022, he said, in a voice that was almost raspy, <em><strong>&#8220;I used to get bullied for that.&#8221;</strong></em></p>



<p>He laughed and tugged at his beard some more. </p>

<p>He gave an example of what his attackers would say as to why he was targeted due to his choice of name.</p>



<p><strong><em>“How are you, a Muslim, calling yourself Frimpong?”</em></strong> he said.</p>



<p>Meanwhile, he admitted that he didn&#8217;t enjoy the Frimpong name, despite the fact that his father&#8217;s name was Frimpong, because of the trolls.</p>



<p>But after finishing high school, he realized that the name represented &#8220;my identity.&#8221;</p>



<p>Moreover, he gave an explanation of his resolve, saying, <em><strong>“Due to that background, I have always felt I had to accomplish something; I have an obligation to pay my dues, so that name would be acknowledged and honored.”</strong></em></p>



<p><strong><em>I rarely encounter Sherif Muhammed Ismail because of this.“I wrote a lot of songs in about eight weeks, and in about 80% of them, I found myself repeating ‘Kwaku’ a lot,” </em></strong> Black Sherif added.</p>



<p>Furthermore, he claimed that he was shocked to learn that, when writing songs, his chosen stage name is actually Kwaku Frimpong. He is currently Ghana&#8217;s most rapidly rising musical talent.</p>
