On May 7, 2026, Webkid Afrika, an SM fan, was picked up by the Ghana Police Service after the dancehall artist Stonebwoy reportedly filed a complaint against him over false publication.
According to a report by the social media blogger WithAlvin, Webkid Afrika was first brought before an Accra High Court, with the offence being false news and offensive content targeting Stonebwoy.
A document from the court is believed to have indicated that the SM blogger was allegedly contracted by the Ghanaian artist's former social media manager to post derogatory captions and misleading information about the artist's family on X, formerly Twitter.
Following the supposed court proceedings, Webkid Afrika was faced with two criminal counts: publication of false news and offensive conduct conducive to a breach of peace.
After several court appearances, the SM fan continues to be in police custody.
