Kofi Boat: Showboy Speaks Bitterly in New Doom Prophecy About Accra Chairmen

• Controversial ex-convict Showboy has reacted to Kofi Boat's legal woes after the latter was arrested by the FBI
• In a video, after news of Kofi Boat's arrest, Showboy spoke bitterly about how he was treated after leaving prison
• His hot take about the ongoing FBI operations hinted at an individual whom he believes has gone into hiding

Controversial Ghanaian social media personality and musician Sam Safo, popularly known as Showboy, has courted attention online after his reaction to Kofi Boat's arrest.

The musician, who was deported from the US last year, spoke about the recent FBI operations in Ghana, which have led to the arrest of several tycoons in Accra.

He claimed the legal woes of Kofi Boat and others are the culmination of their failure to look after him after he was released from prison.

"My billionaire friends never welcomed me. None of them even threw a party for me. I was just there crying silently," he said.

Showboy, who is known to be close to some of Accra's richest tycoons, claimed that he expected to be treated well by most of his associates.

Rather, all he got was silence and threats on his life despite being a loyal friend while in US custody.

In the video, Showboy identified some others whom he alleged had gone into hiding because of the FBI's crackdown on cybercrime in Ghana.

"When I came back from prison, one individual who lied to me was Don Royce. He told me to choose any car of my liking. I heard he's now hiding," Showboy claimed.

Showboy prophesies doom for Accra tycoons

It can be recalled that sometime in 2024, Showboy slammed Hajia4Reall accusing her of selling out some Ghanaians to the FBI.

In his rants, Showboy maintained that he had a chance to do something similar, but instead, he went silent and did his time.

It appears the controversial musician's stance has changed. In his recent video, which has popped up after Kofi Boat's arrest, he prophesied doom for some of his embattled associates, who can potentially land on the FBI's radar.

"I am in my lane. If you gave me something small, I would shut up. This is not blackmail, it's media. Pay me and I keep quiet," he added.

The nature of the FBI's accusations against Kofi Boat, who is believed to be the ring leader of a criminal enterprise operating out of Ghana, has stoked a frenzy on social media.

Court documents intercepted by GhanaWeb confirm that Kofi Boat is a prime suspect in a $100 million fraud case. He was accused of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering.

Past Incidents of public figures' arrest

In January 2025, Ghanaian social media was served with speculation in early 2025 that Reverend Paul Kusi Boateng, a prominent Ghanaian preacher, had been arrested by Ghana’s National Investigations Bureau (NIB). The rumour garnered a significant amount of public interest and concern.

Nonetheless, in response to the speculation voiced by the public about his arrest, Rev. Kusi Boateng emerged once more to the public during a church service and stated vehemently that he had never been arrested or detained by any security agency and that the insinuations were completely false and an effort to defame him.

He made it abundantly clear that he is not a criminal, nor would he allow himself to be intimidated by any government body or political group. While some details remain unclear, there is no official report from the NIB or other agencies that confirm any arrest. The whole situation seems that it was all based on rumors, rather than fact, and some of the responses online have been mixed, with some people supporting his denials and others openly and sarcastically not believing him.

At this moment, the alleged arrest is not substantiated. In the absence of supporting evidence from reputable sources, it is likely best to consider the story to be rumors until there is official confirmation.

Showboy cuts ties with Dada Joe Remix

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Showboy had distanced himself from Dada Joe Remix, whom he once called his cousin.

He went public with his decision after his supposed cousin was picked up in an FBI sting on May 28, 2025.

Dada Joe Remix has been charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
