Outstanding Ghanaian artiste, Sherifa Gunu, has revealed that Sarkodie's 2012 hit ' Sherifa' was born out of his adoration for her.

The soul musician claimed that Sarkodie admired her so much that he composed a song for them to collaborate, then promptly named it after her to show deference. She made known that Sarkodie and his team had already recorded the song way before they met with her to get her to feature in it.

According to her, she was at La to play a show when she received a call from Sarkodie’s manager informing her of a meetup. After they met, the song was played and she immediately started to sing to it because the melody of the song was appealing.
