Popular Ghanaian musician Black Sherif shared a photo of his lunch on Snapchat, showing fans his delicious meal as he marked the release of his new album, Iron Boy.
The artiste’s plate of beans and plantains, popularly referred to as gobɛ in local palance looked very tasty as the slices of plantain looked ripe and properly deep fried.
The beans, mixed with garri also looked very rich, a befitting meal for Black Sherif who loves to portray himself as a product of the streets.
The ‘Kwaku The Traveller’ crooner, who hails from Konongo Zongo, has been seen a few times eating traditional Ghanaian meals.
Gobɛ is a simple but nutritious meal made from boiled beans, gari, and palm oil, often served with fried plantains, fish, or avocado. The dish, which was once considered food for low-income earners due to its affordability, is now enjoyed by people from all backgrounds.
The timing of Black Sherif’s post coincided with the release of Iron Boy, his highly anticipated second studio album.
The project, which dropped on April 3, 2025, features 15 songs and explores themes of struggle, resilience, and success. It includes collaborations with Nigerian singers Fireboy DML and Seyi Vibez, making them the only guest appearances on the album.
The album’s production was handled by several notable producers, including Ar Beats, Samsney, and Dystinkt Beats. Sound engineers Samuel Sarpong and Mike Seaberg worked on the final mix, ensuring high-quality sound.
