Webkid Afrika, whose real name is Abdul Gafaru Sadi, was picked up by the Ghana Police Service on May 7, 2026, after dancehall artist Stonebwoy reportedly filed a complaint against him over false publication.
According to the prosecution, the accused used his X account to share content described as false, misleading, and capable of causing fear and panic.
Webkid initially faced four charges: publication of false news against Stonebwoy, offensive conduct, and actions contributing to the breach of peace.
His lawyer later confirmed that the charges had increased from four to six counts as investigations continued.
On Thursday, June 18, 2026, Webkid reappeared before an Accra High Court. However, court proceedings could not take place due to the absence of the judge expected to lead the hearing. The case was subsequently adjourned to Monday, June 22, 2026.

Shatta Wale blasts Stonebwoy over Webkid's arrest
Following the arrest of Webkid Africa, Shatta Wale took to social media to blast Stonebwoy directly, questioning what he stood to gain from taking the matter to court.
He argued that criticism is a natural part of the music industry and that artists who cannot handle it should step aside. He dismissed the entire exercise as a distraction from more meaningful battles.

He said:
"It's only a broke artist who arrests rival fans for speaking against him because you won't get anything from the guy you have taken to court. Your only mindset is to travel outside Ghana so that people would think you are an international artist."
