Popular Ghanaian business mogul Joseph Boateng, popularly known as Dada Joe, has become the centre of discussion following a recent social media report alleging his arrest by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
On May 27, 2025, news broke on social media claiming that Dada Joe had been arrested by the FBI in connection with suspected fraudulent activities.
Over the years, Dada Joe has frequently gone viral on social media for his lavish lifestyle.
He was said to have purchased a filling station for $1 million. In 2018, he shared a video of himself importing a Rolls-Royce, and in 2019, he also acquired a Lamborghini Urus.
In response to the news of his alleged arrest, socialite Showboy, who is also Dada Joe’s cousin, took to social media to post a series of cryptic messages.
In his message, Showboy advised individuals involved in cybercrime to steer clear of politics, especially when there is a change in government.
“Sometimes a man has to face his challenges to respect the struggle of another.
First rule as a game boy: don’t involve yourself in politics. If they switch power, the opposition will come for you. Everything happening is politics. They play chess and are saving future votes from distraction,” he wrote.
Meanwhile, reports of Dada Joe’s alleged arrest have sparked mixed reactions online.
While some netizens are linking the incident to the recent release of socialite Hajia4Reall, others have criticised Dada Joe for his habit of flaunting his wealth publicly.
As of the time of this report, the exact reason for Dada Joe’s alleged arrest remains unclear. We will continue to follow the story and provide updates as new information becomes available.

Why do I keep thinking that Dada Joe’s arrest by the FBI has something to do with someone snitching, and it could potentially be Hajia4real? Because Hajia coming out after spending a few years behind bars means she must have snitched on a certain number of people to be released.

If you can’t explain your source of income never flaunt on social media. Right now Dada Joe has arrived in the US to face trial. It is believed he is one of the top scammers that us wanted by the FBI long time ago. Some popular musicians targeted.
