Ghanaian musician and socialite, Sam Safo, popularly known as Showboy, has recently been released from prison after serving a six-year sentence.
His release has sparked a wave of reactions from Ghanaians, particularly due to his noticeable weight gain and ‘potbelly’, a local term used to describe someone who has put on weight.
Showboy was sentenced to six years in prison in March 2019 for stabbing Junior US, a Ghanaian singer and friend of Shatta Wale, during an altercation in 2017.
Despite being behind bars, Showboy managed to maintain an active presence on social media, using it as a platform to share his insights and expose various aspects of the entertainment industry in Ghana.
Upon his return to Ghana, Showboy’s noticeable weight gain and ‘potbelly’ have drawn attention from the public.
In Ghana, the term ‘obolo’ is often used to describe someone who has put on weight, and it seems that Showboy’s new physique fits this description.

As he navigates life post-incarceration, it will be interesting to see how he responds to the public’s reactions and what his next steps will be.
