About Showboy
Showboy, whose real name is Sam Safo, is a Ghanaian rapper, a co-founder of the AMG music group and head of 2Hype Gang. He is known for his outspoken social media live sessions and long-running public feuds.
Prison sentence in the US
In March 2019 a US court sentenced Showboy to six years in prison over a 2017 confrontation in which he bit and stabbed fellow Ghanaian musician Junior US. Junior US was later killed in a robbery in 2021; Showboy denied any link to his death. Showboy was released in 2023 and returned to Ghana, and has since spoken about his time in prison and about wanting to rebuild his music career.
Feud with Criss Waddle
Since his return Showboy has accused Criss Waddle, with whom he co-founded AMG, of failing to keep promises of a house and a car, and of cheating him in a business deal. In November 2026 he claimed on TikTok Live that Waddle was responsible for the FBI arrest of Kofi Boat. Waddle denied this, and DJ Slim warned that the allegations could expose Showboy to legal action.
