I struggle with mental health, my dog is my comfort – Showboy

Ghanaian musician and socialite Sam Safo, popularly known as Showboy, has opened up about his battle with mental health issues and how his dog, Karishika, has become a crucial part of his healing journey.

Speaking in an interview on Delay Show on November 23, 2024, Showboy shared that he experiences extreme emotions that sometimes make him feel like harming others when he is angry.

The rapper highlighted his struggles with loneliness, betrayal, and the frustrations of dealing with ungrateful friends, which have significantly impacted his mental well-being.

According to him, the dog Karishika, a rare Russian bleed purchased for $85,000, serves as an emotional support animal for him.

The musician emphasized how the dog has provided him with much-needed companionship.

“This dog is especially for mental health purposes. It is closer to me because I don’t want loneliness. I have been lonely for a long time. I usually hear voices when I am sleeping. If not for the weed I smoke, which calms me down, sometimes I feel like stabbing someone’s stomach. Human beings irritate me, so the dog plays a huge role in my life.

“Anger, betrayal from friends… I have supported friends with my money, but I have been through a lot. So, coming out, the dog is my friend now. The dog has saved me since I came to Ghana,” he said.
