    I will go back to fraud, ‘sakawa’ if you don’t support my music career – US Deportee Showboy tells Ghanaians

    Popular Ghanaian musician and socialite, Sam Safo popularly known as Showboy, has vowed to revisit certain bad habits of the past if  he doesn’t receive the necessary attention and support from Ghanaians to succeed in the music industry.

    In an interview with Adom FM, he indicated that before embarking on his music journey he resorted to money rituals, fraudulent activities and other negative vices in order to make ends meet.

    However, he mentioned that finding a talent in music gave him hope, thus, created an avenue for him to escape from these bad habits.

    According to him, he was stuck in them due to the  limited job opportunities in the country, as such, his music career is the best chance for a positive future.

    He added that Ghanaians’ encouragement and backing will go a long way in determining the execution of his plan B. 

    “I urge all Ghanaians to support my music journey because without it, I may be tempted to resort to fraudulent activities, money rituals, and other negative habits from my past. I’ve struggled with these vices before, and I don’t want to return to that dark path. With limited job opportunities in the country, my music career is my best chance for a positive future. Your support will determine whether I stay on this path or risk falling back into a life of crime, including armed robbery. Your encouragement and backing mean everything to me,” he added.

    Showboy was sentenced to six years in prison in March 2019 for stabbing a US-based Ghanaian musician during a tussle.

    Although the musician, Junior, survived the stabbing, he was later killed in a robbery attack in 2021. At the time of Junior’s death, many accused Showboy’s associates of being involved in the crime.

    However, Showboy has since been released from prison. In a recent video shared on social media, he was seen on the shores of Ghana. Announcing his return on Instagram, the former AMG group co-founder posted a video of himself at the beach, performing a ritual cleanse.

    “I am back to pay homage to all the gods and my ancestors. I am back,” he said.

    In the caption accompanying his post, Showboy, who disclosed that his mental health has been affected by the entire ordeal, thanked everyone who stood by him.

    “Thanks to Allah/God and our ancestors for everything!!! Shouts to all my dawgs /Families that held me down and never turned their back on me…shouts to all that tolerated my depression and sorry to all I offended !!! back for everything !! FINALLY FREE !!!” he retorted.

  • Why Medikal is trending in the midst of ‘Bullgod-Shatta Wale’ rift

    Ghanaian rapper, Medikal, has been cautioned against his relationship with Shatta Wale. The AMG rapper has been asked to pick a cue from the manner in which Shatta has, without hesitation, spewed secrets and leveled wild allegations against his former manager, Bullgod.

    Following Shatta’s fallout with Bullgod, the former has leveled all sorts of allegations against the latter, some of which have resulted in police cases.

    In what started as a social media banter between them, things took a drastic turn when Shatta Wale began spilling some information Bullgod perhaps shared with him in confidentiality.

    It can be recalled that in a similar instance, Shatta stormed social media with a barrage of wild allegations against his former best friend, Burna Boy.

    Ghanaian artiste, Pope Skinny, an SM militant, Deportee, and Michy, the mother of Shatta’s son, went through similar ordeals with the dancehall musician.

    However, upon analyzing this particular trend by Shatta anytime after he falls out with his friends, Medikal who appears to have established a new stronger bond with the dancehall artiste, has been urged to advise himself.

    Shatta and Medikal’s friendship intensified during the time of their arrest.

    They both returned from prison with the “Deeper than Blood” (DTB) thug-line, which compelled them to draw tattoos of each other on various parts their bodies to prove the intensity of their bond.

    Recounting all these developments, netizens have issued messages of caution to Medikal on Twitter.

    Some of them wrote:

    “I wish I can Advice Medikal to be very critical with Shatta Wale. I am scared tbh.”

    “Anytime I see Shatta Wale releasing secret, I think about Medikal. Smh.”

    “Shatta wale no be that good friend wey fi keep secret. When you get beef plus him then he will revel the secret you trusted him to keep. I fear give medikal”
