Twitter users debate content of Black Sherif’s ‘Kwaku The Traveller’ video
Black Sherif and video director, David Nicole Sey, have got music lovers scratching their head in a bid to understand the Kwaku The Traveller video.
The video has the rapper going through different scenarios social media fans have dubbed, his journey.
The Kwaku The Traveller clip begins with Black Sherif addressing a conference and he’s then seen kneeling in front of some older women in red who seemingly prayed for him.
The rapper later dines with some women in the company of bodyguards and his dog. In other scenes, Black Sherif and his friends are chased by the Police and were later arrested.
Some people on Twitter since the video’s release on Thursday, have been debating the concept portrayed in the film.
Others are arguing whether or not the video’s concept relates to the message in the songs.
I have watched #kwakuTheTraveller music video, even though good cast but didn’t meet my expectation because of the story line the music tells.

I think the #KwakuTheTraveller music video has by far the best concept I’ve seen in a Ghanaian music video. It’s beautifully done and all the elements fall in place to tell a beautiful story. Let me try and explain why…

He sets out to seek the path to his destiny by consulting (scene where he enters the room to women clad in red)
From there, most of the scenes and visualizations that occur ( image distortions et al) represent he #KwakuTheTraveller seeing his destiny before him.— The Anglo Ewe Boy (@1dela_dem) May 20, 2022
The scene where he’s on the treadmill represents some things which I’ll try to breakdown.
a. A life of a cover up. Despite his ill wealth acquisition, #KTT plays a normal person in the eyes of society, just like a lot of people do. They live a lie to cover up.

c. arrest in the end also gives a lesson on morals, to wit, there’s no shortcut to success. He missed his bride (what we can term as society’s ideal measure of success).

#KwakuTheTraveller “travels” through choices and phases of life to make a full journey of living a fulfilled life or otherwise depending on where you choose to look at it from.

This #kwakuTheTraveller video is deeply laced with metaphors, euphemisms, and a great deal of symbolism.
it’s just perfect mhennn!— Efe Moxie (@Efe_Moxie) May 20, 2022

I think his team didn’t force. The video should be self explanatory. We don’t get the concept. 2nd sermon was easy to understand and the concept was easy to get. I no really feel the vibe. They should have done better. My opinion tho. #kwakuTheTraveller

Funny how people are saying @blacksherif_ #kwakuTheTraveller video is great. Aside the good camera quality what was great about the video? This is total rubbish and to me the director did a bad job.

The fork in #kwakuTheTraveller video though, no tv station will need to censor that part of the song

The storyline in the video and the lyrics of the song do not match
We ain’t complaining about video quality or whatever— Kweku_Thursday (@kink_rich) May 20, 2022
#kwakuTheTraveller video is not hype! @blacksherif_ congratulations
You outdid yourself! Who directed it?

This is how to shoot a video for a global hit song
When you listen to KTT,it has a dramatic feel and it was expressed in its best by cinematographic way. All other critics are just naive or probably jealous.#kwakuTheTraveller— Deckertheblogger
