Ghanaian socialite Showboy
Ghanaian socialite Samuel Safo, popularly known as Showboy, has thrown his support behind rapper Sarkodie after a recent “Back to Gari Soakings” comment made by the rapper on social media.
In a video shared on social media, Showboy noted that the “No Sir” singer has the freedom to express himself.
He explained that Sarkodie has the right to criticise any political party if he is not satisfied with their work.
“Sarkodie is not the only NPP supporter, I am also an NPP guy, so if you want to confront someone, then come and confront all of us… So if he responded to Gari Soakings, so what? Isn’t he a rapper? You all should learn to think.
“If it’s attention you desire, learn how to get it. You can’t be threatening Sarkodie because if something happens to him, the law will take action, and if something happens to him, you will be arrested,” he said.
Showboy further urged people to stop criticising the rapper over a harmless statement.
“I have seen a video circulating on social media where someone is insulting and threatening the rapper. Brother, the laws in the country are in place, and you shouldn’t mess with him because if something happens to him, then you will realize how many people support him. The same NDC you are opposing will deny any involvement because the political party does not condone violence,” he added.
Background
Sarkodie has previously expressed his dissatisfaction with the administration of former President John Dramani Mahama.
From 2013 to 2016, the rapper used his music to voice his concerns, with one notable example being his 2014 track “Inflation,” which conveyed his displeasure with Mahama’s leadership.
However, Sarkodie noticeably remained quiet during the presidency of President Akufo-Addo, despite calls from his fans.
