CELEBIRTIES WHO ARE RUMORED TO BE SAKAWA BOYS IN GHANA
Sakawa, which was initially the local name for internet fraud in Ghana
has graduated to become something else—extensively scattered, such that
it’s difficult to specifically define it.
Today, it’s not just a matter of internet fraud: some say Sakawa boys, politely called “Game men” employ all manner of local voodoo which are mostly accompanied by insane rituals like sleeping in coffins for their cash to start flowing.

Today, it’s not just a matter of internet fraud: some say Sakawa boys, politely called “Game men” employ all manner of local voodoo which are mostly accompanied by insane rituals like sleeping in coffins for their cash to start flowing.
There are tales of people said to be housing money vomiting snakes
that vomit dollars, pounds or whatever currency for them at nights in
Ghana, all termed Sakawa.
And there’s the traditional Sakawa, where a man pretends to be a
woman–to talk to a white man somewhere in Europe or America, swindling
huge sum of money from this white man because of his love interest in
the “cute” pretender.
It’s rumoured that even those using this old internet fraud tactic have
stepped up their game, by using voodoo to “charm” the white folks they
deal with so they would easily send whatever amount of money they
request.
How can we forget the fraudulent credit card purchases which is the cornerstone of Sakawa in Ghana?
Though there’s no substantive evidence of there ever being any snake
capable of vomiting money or a person being able to charm another so
that the charmed would wire thousands of dollars or pounds to the one
doing the twisting, it’s undeniable that several people are spending
huge cash in Ghana without any viable corresponding source.
These mysterious spenders whose source of income are unknown but ride
in expensive cars or blow cash as though they own dozens of diamond
mines are loosely pulled into the box of Sakawa—the Game men.
From Aston Martins to Range Rover, these “Game men’ own them all.
As the BBC once reported,
“Internet fraudsters in Ghana are easy to spot. The young men in fast
cars have become such a conspicuous group that they even have their own
nickname.”
Several Ghanaian musicians have been rumoured to be Game men and today, we bring you 5 of these.\

SHUT YOUR BIG MOUTH -= KK FOSU TO SHATTA WALE
Highlife musician, K.K Fosu has hit back at Shatta Wale after the dancehall artiste listed him among old musicians who were not smart during their heydays.
“Ex Doe was a hiplife artiste; Shatta Wale is a dancehall artiste. Shatta Wale is a business minded person; Ex Doe is not. Shatta Wale is a smart boy; Ex Doe is not. Shatta Wale is music inclined; Ex Doe is not. I play my beats; I don’t do cover songs. I make sure I save. I take my career serious,” he said.
When Delay asked if the likes of Tic Tac, KK Fosu and Kokoveli are part of artistes who were not smart, the ‘Dancehall Commando’ hit maker replied in the affirmative.
“Yes, they weren’t business minded. I’m taking advantage of the fame I have now. If I’m no more famous, I want to be seen working for a big company somewhere. We are in an industry where people enjoy going abroad. Four years down the lane you see them and wonder what happened. I feel most of the things the critics say is just out of envy. I have seen the downfall of many artistes because they weren’t smart,” he noted.
Reacting to the comments on Happy FM’s Showbiz Xtra, Saturday, KK Fosu had just a sentence for Shatta Wale.
“Somebody tell Shatta Wale to shut his big mouth,” he said.
Meanwhile rapper, Tic Tac has asked Shatta Wale to respect his [Tic Tac] brand instead of smearing it with mud.
“You have seen me doing some sort of businesses so in the end that should tell you that he is just picking on people. He is the type who likes to talk about fellow artistes in the way he did. I have disclosed my achievements in many interviews so I don’t repeat myself. My style is not to try and be on air always and blow my horn… I find it a bit weird to come on TV without checking his facts properly…Per his definition of ‘smartness’, I don’t fall in that,” he told KMJ on Hitz FM’s Daybreak Hitz, Friday.
