Ghanaian businessman and socialite Joseph Boateng, widely known as Dada Joe, has become the focus of intense public speculation following reports of his alleged arrest by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

On May 27, 2025, social media buzzed with claims that Dada Joe had been apprehended in connection with suspected fraudulent activities. While official confirmation remains pending, the news has ignited widespread conversation both online and within entertainment circles.

Dada Joe is no stranger to the spotlight. He has regularly trended for his flamboyant lifestyle, often showcasing luxury purchases. Among his most talked-about acquisitions were a $1 million fuel station, a Rolls-Royce he imported in 2018, and a Lamborghini Urus purchased in 2019.

Reacting to the swirling rumours, his cousin and fellow socialite Showboy took to social media to post a series of cryptic messages. In one of his statements, Showboy cautioned those engaged in cybercrime to steer clear of political involvement, especially during transitions of power.

“Sometimes a man has to face his challenges to respect the struggle of another," he wrote. "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.”

The alleged arrest has drawn mixed reactions online. While some users are drawing parallels with the recent release of fellow socialite Hajia4Reall, others have criticised Dada Joe’s tendency to flaunt his wealth, suggesting it may have attracted unwanted attention.

As of now, the details surrounding his alleged arrest remain unconfirmed, and the exact charges, if any, have not been made public.

This is a developing story, and we will continue to provide updates as more verified information becomes available.
