Ghanaian socialite Showboy, whose real name is Samuel Safo, has expressed his strong desire to achieve wealth, stating that his determination for success could have pushed him towards risky situations.
During an interview with Deloris Frimpong Manso on The Delay Show on November 23, 2024, Showboy confessed that he may have turned to armed robbery if he had not attained financial success.
He said;
“In JHS 2, I was sacked from school at John Teye because I stole from someone. I used to steal things like money, sardines, and others. It all started when I used to steal from my grandmother, but she didn’t punish or talk me out of it. If God hadn’t blessed me with money, I would have become an armed robber because I am passionate about making money by all means. When I came back from prison to Ghana, the first thing I saw at the airport was young boys driving Range Rovers”
Showboy was given a six-year prison term in March 2019 for allegedly stabbing Junior US, a US-based Ghanaian musician, during a fight.
Junior US was stabbed but he ultimately died in a robbery in 2021.
During Junior’s death, Showboy’s “men” were blamed for the crime, but the real culprits were caught by US Police.
