Showboy is a musician, socialite, and social media commentator from Ghana. He was sentenced to six years in prison in March 2019 for stabbing Junior US, a Ghanaian singer and friend of Shatta Wale who was living in the US, after an argument. Junior US survived the stabbing but passed away in a robbery in 2021.
Many people initially thought that Showboy’s thugs were responsible for Junior’s death, but this was later proven false when the true criminals were caught by the US Police. Showboy has been in prison for four years and is now set to be deported to Ghana.
Showboy, whose real name is Stephen Safo, announced on social media that he was being released from prison. He remained active on social media throughout his detention, sharing details about his life and the events that led to his arrest. In one of his posts from last year, he claimed that Criss Waddle, the founder of the AMG Record label, which he is alleged to have co-founded, set him up.
Showboy is set to be deported to Ghana after his release from prison. He has expressed his desire to return to his home country and continue his music career. It remains to be seen what the future holds for Showboy, but we wish him the best of luck.
“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,
