When asked about his relationship with Dada Joe Remix after the latter's arrest, Showboy said:
"The last time I checked, they denied me any cousin position. I'm into music and media. I dropped a song today. I make wild waa. "
The controversial social media personality went on to comment about the trend of FBI-related arrests in Ghana,
"I will expose a lot of things u don't have any idea about. I said this last year. The victims in America are crying for the money they lost. They pressured the FBI to do their job! If u scammed anybody and used a Yankee account, they will come and pick u up."
