There’s nothing quite like a little friendly fire at the top of the charts—especially when it comes from two of Africa’s most influential musical powerhouses. In a moment that has left fans grinning from Accra to Lagos, Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Davido has humorously appealed to Ghanaian breakout artist Black Sherif to loosen his grip on the Ghana Apple Music Top Songs chart—if only for a quick screenshot.
On Monday morning, Davido took to his Instagram stories to share a screenshot of the Ghanaian Apple Music chart, where his latest hit “With You” featuring Omah Lay had surged up to No. 3. But climbing higher might be tough—even for a titan like OBO—because sitting firmly at No. 1 through 16 is none other than Black Sherif, whose recently released songs from his new body of work (IRON BOY) have effectively taken over the entire upper half of the chart.
Among the tracks dominating the chart are “Sacrifice”, the introspective “January 9th”, and the raw, emotion-packed fan-favourite “Iron Boy”—all of which showcase Black Sherif’s unmatched ability to connect with listeners through deeply personal storytelling and signature trap-infused highlife style.
In response to this remarkable sweep, Davido jokingly wrote:
“@blacksherif_ IRON BOY .. how far make I enter #1 I wan screenshot 😂😂🇬🇭❤️”
The post instantly went viral, sparking laughter, admiration, and even more respect between fanbases. Some fans called it “one of the most iconic and wholesome moments in Afrobeats this year,” while others praised both artists for showing how healthy competition and mutual respect can co-exist at the highest levels of African music.
For Davido—whose 5IVE album and chart-topping run continue to make waves globally—this light-hearted moment is another testament to his genuine connection with fans and fellow artists alike. And for Black Sherif, it’s a major stamp of approval and a milestone that proves his musical takeover is no fluke.
The playful exchange also highlights the growing synergy between Nigeria and Ghana’s music scenes, as artists continue to collaborate, support, and compete on the global stage, all while celebrating each other’s wins.
