Ghanaian musician and social media commentator, Sam Safo aka Showboy is said to be deported to Ghana after serving four years in jail for stabbing a friend, named Junior US.
In March 2019, Showboy was given a six-year prison sentence for stabbing Junior US, a Ghanaian singer and a friend of Shatta Wale living in the US, following an altercation. Junior US managed to survive the stabbing but died in a robbery attack in 2021.
At the time of Junior’s death, many people accused Showboy’s thugs of carrying out the crime but that was disputed when the real culprits were later apprehended by the US Police.
In this fresh development, Showboy took to social media to inform his fans that he was getting released from prison.
“Follow my new snap chat-Ahantan. I wish I was in Ghana lol. Anyways, I’m getting released tomorrow 06/07,2023 … my last night in prison! (sic)”.
Despite being detained, Showboy remained quite active on social media, sharing details about his life and the incidents that led to his arrest.
He claimed that Criss Waddle, the founder of the AMG Record label, which he is alleged to have co-founded, set him up in one of his posts from last year.
“5yrs ago Criss Waddle sent junior us to my house (apartment) … they set me up..my life hasnt been the same since then. July 3,2016 . I never forget this day. U can read the statement and see the lies they told police, came to court and denied everything and said they scared of me,”
“Told court am a Gunsta .. prosecutor told me I got a Huge Ego and said I call the shot .. I was profiled .. if not Criss Waddle sending Junior to me to come pay me money he Criss Waddle owed ..all this never was going to happen .. Junior us was never my friend. That was Criss Waddle friend that hated on me out of jealousy .. I was set up by Criss Waddle and his friends. .thats the facts … still ain’t got no visit from Criss Waddle till today. .. haven’t seen him in 5yrs(sic),” he wrote at the time.
Then again Showboy gave a hint of his deportation in April this year in a Facebook post.
This is what he said, “Dem want deport me ..a make sad rough. .. a taya for life … if a come Ghana too Boyz want beat me especially criss waddle and shatta wale in friends lol …. make a sign for deportation or sit for another 1yr or 2 for immigration detention to fight for ma stay and still be on 9yrs probation. .. or to just sign for the deportation n come face death or happineass in Ghana …… lol am stressed, I can’t think far ..

“Being doing time for almost 2 and half years now … still depressed ..still suffering mentally … I am not innocent ,I was attacked first and I defended myself by stabbing. .I dont have control off ma adrenaline ..I did whatever to survive at the moment. .THEY SET ME UP ..TOOK MY FREEDOM FROM ME ….
