• Showboy wanted to become a lawyer, but the viral Ghanaian sensation ended up a convicted felon in the US
• The controversial fame-seeking musician recounted bits of his hard life in the US, which many couldn't see beyond his flashy lifestyle
• His story, as he seeks to hopefully become a better version of himself, has garnered traction on social media

Controversial Ghanaian musician and executive Sam Sarfo, aka Showboy, has opened up about bits of his time in the US, which many didn't get to know.

The Ghanaian, known for his flashy lifestyle in the US and deep ties with African showbiz, said he was once a security personnel.

On June 19, he shared his story on social media, recounting how peer pressure had robbed him of his dreams.

Many remember the viral sensation for his flashy lifestyle, rolling with top celebrities like Davido and Tema-based rapper Criss Waddle.

"I was a security guard in America and also worked at the coffee shop !!! Something they will never tell you," he said.

According to Showboy, he had enrolled in college with big dreams of possibly becoming a lawyer.

However, pressure from his peers caused him to drift away from his dreams.

"Was in college …. And peer pressure messed my dream n all my opportunities up …. So i advice u . Do better n be the best version of ur self .. i have regretted a lot"

In 2019, the controversial Ghanaian, now seeking another shot at life, was imprisoned in the US for six years for stabbing Junior US, a US-based Ghanaian musician, during a confrontation.

While Junior US survived the stabbing, he was later killed in a separate robbery incident in 2021.

Last year, he was deported to Ghana and has since been taking steps to rebuild his media and music career.

It wasn’t peer pressure… nobody can trick you or convince you to do anything.

@AkwesiBibinii

I will never understand people who fall for or blame peer pressure for their horrible choices in life. I mean how did you not make something meaningful out of the opportunity you got being in America? You had no aim and no goal. Peer pressure will never get me. Tweaa.
