Ghanaian musician Sam Sarfo, better known as Showboy, has stated that he will not grant interviews with any media house apart of OLAFM.

He acknowledges the media house as a support system to his music career, along with a few others he did not mention.

“I will always go where I’m cherished the most. I don’t want to be invited to any platform unless it’s OLAFM or a few others that genuinely support me,” he stated.

He has also made it known that his music does not thrive on promotions by media houses like Adom Tv, YFM, and Okay FM.

“I run my own media house. I promote my music myself whenever I release something new, and I mind my business,” he said.

The musician shared a sobering message with the youth, urging them not to be misled by the flashy lifestyle he portrays on social media, particularly on Snapchat.

In an emotional interview on Neat FM, Showboy confessed to the poor life choices he made and the deep regret he feels for the path he took, despite what may appear glamorous online.

“They use me to advise kids at home. Don’t be like Showboy; it won’t help you because I didn’t live a good life. It is God who has blessed me and given me a second chance. Do not follow me and think that my lifestyle is beautiful; I don’t sleep at night,” he said candidly.

The former AMG Business co-founder admitted that although he presents a flashy image online, the reality behind the scenes is far from the picture he paints for his followers.

He stressed that the social media image many admire is a façade and a misleading representation of his life.

“Music and this lifestyle are nothing, and do not watch me wrongly and think I am happy. If you watch me on Snapchat, you know I don’t even sleep. This is not what I want, but I don’t have a choice,” Showboy revealed.

Reflecting on his past, Showboy explained how he had the opportunity to build a better future while living in America, but chose the wrong path. He regretted not listening to his mother’s advice to pursue education, which ultimately led him to make choices that landed him in prison.

“I had the chance to live in America and do better for myself. My mom told me to go to school, but I didn’t listen and I chose the criminal side of life, a fast life that took me to prison,” he recalled.

Though he is now trying to rebuild his life through music, Showboy admitted that his future feels uncertain. The pressures of his current life have led him to a dark place, with the rapper sharing his struggles with mental health.

“Now I am here trying to do music, and if the music doesn’t go well, it’s suicide I will be going to commit,” he confessed, opening up about the mental toll his situation has taken on him.

Showboy also revealed his desire to completely change his career, appearance, and life choices. He expressed regret over his signature dreadlocks and even spoke of a dream to return to school and become a lawyer.

“Left to me alone, I would have shaved my entire hair. This dreadlocks I don’t even like, and if I have a new job, I would shave my entire hair,” he said. “I want to go back to school, I want to be a lawyer. If you are watching me, I don’t want to be like this. I want to be in a suit and tie in parliament. I want to do something better.”

Through this candid revelation, Showboy hopes to steer young people away from making the same mistakes he made, emphasizing the importance of making wise life choices and not following the false narratives seen on social media.
