The brother of social media personality and SM fan, Webkid Afrika, has made an emotional appeal to Ghanaian dancehall star Stonebwoy, urging him to show mercy and help resolve his brother’s legal troubles.
Webkid Afrika was reportedly arrested by the Ghana Police Service on May 7, 2026, following a complaint allegedly filed by Stonebwoy over claims of false publication and offensive content directed at the award-winning musician.
Why Was Webkid Afrika Arrested?
According to reports by social media blogger WithAlvin, Webkid Afrika was first arraigned before an Accra High Court on charges relating to the publication of false news and offensive conduct.
Court documents circulating online reportedly alleged that the SM fan had been contracted by Stonebwoy’s former social media manager to publish derogatory posts and misleading information about the musician and his family on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Following the court proceedings, Webkid Afrika was reportedly charged with two criminal offences:
- Publication of false news
- Offensive conduct conducive to a breach of peace
Despite multiple court appearances, the social media commentator remains in police custody.
Webkid Afrika’s Brother Appeals to Stonebwoy
On Thursday, June 18, 2026, Webkid Afrika reappeared before an Accra High Court. However, proceedings could not continue due to the absence of the presiding judge, leading to another adjournment.
Speaking to the media after the hearing, Webkid Afrika’s brother admitted that he was not fully aware of the specific charges against his sibling. However, he said he had heard claims that Stonebwoy was behind the arrest.
In an emotional plea, he appealed to the dancehall artiste to intervene and show compassion.
“I don’t know the charges against my brother, but I heard Stonebwoy caused his arrest. I will plead with him to have mercy on Webkid and help us because he has punished him enough,” he said.
Case Adjourned to June 22
The court has adjourned the matter to Monday, June 22, 2026, when proceedings are expected to continue.
The case has generated widespread discussion on social media, with fans of both Stonebwoy and the SM movement closely following developments and debating the circumstances surrounding Webkid Afrika’s arrest.
As the legal process unfolds, many will be watching to see whether the matter can be resolved and whether Stonebwoy responds to the family’s public appeal for mercy.
