Blacvolta has issued a statement distancing itself from concerns surrounding individuals linked to its “The One Percent” initiative following the arrest of social media personality and entrepreneur Joshua Kojo Anane Boateng (SoAfrican), who is currently the subject of ongoing investigations over serious allegations.
The platform said it had taken note of public discussion following reports of his arrest, with allegations that SoAfrican allegedly took undue advantage of victims through the use of substances and illegally filmed them. Investigators are also said to be probing claims that he operated a Telegram platform where such material was shared.
According to Ghanaian media and lifestyle platform Blacvolta, the “The One Percent” initiative was designed as an ecosystem-building project aimed at bringing creatives together to “connect, learn, mentor, collaborate, and grow together.” It stressed that the initiative was never intended to promote exclusivity or define status within the creative industry.
The statement further clarified that any association with individuals facing allegations “should not be interpreted as endorsements of alleged misconduct or personal behaviour.” Blacvolta said it does not “condone, support, or excuse sexual assault, abuse, or harmful behaviour in any form,” adding that it remains focused on building its wider creative ecosystem and upcoming digital platforms.
Blacvolta has yet to address separate public criticism following the resurfacing of old posts linked to its official X account, which users have described as disturbing and widely circulated online, adding to ongoing scrutiny of the platform.
