Ghanaian entertainer Sam Kwabena Safo Junior, popularly known as Showboy, has reportedly been arrested by officers of the Criminal Investigation Department in connection with alleged blackmail claims involving music executive and entrepreneur David Mensah, widely known as Davido GH.
Sources familiar with the matter indicate that the arrest stems from accusations that Showboy allegedly threatened to release sensitive information about Davido GH unless certain demands were met. The case is said to have been under discreet investigation for some time before law enforcement authorities took action.
Details surrounding the alleged demands and the nature of the information involved remain unclear. However, industry insiders suggest that the matter had drawn significant attention behind the scenes prior to the reported arrest.
Davido GH is a recognised figure within Ghana’s music industry, known for his work with artists and creatives, particularly in executive and management roles. News of Showboy’s reported detention has generated widespread reaction on social media, with opinions divided among users. While some described the development as unsurprising given Showboy’s past controversies, others have called for restraint and urged the public to allow the legal process to unfold.
As of the time of publication, Showboy has not issued a public statement regarding the allegations, and no official comment has been released by his legal representatives. The Ghana Police Service has also yet to confirm the arrest or formally outline the charges being investigated.
