Veteran film producer Socrate Safo exited the United Showbiz programme following a heated dispute with entertainment pundit A Plus over alleged fund distribution to film producers. The argument intensified when A Plus insulted Safo, comparing his intellect to a "chicken's clitoris."

Offended, Safo demanded an apology to continue the show. Despite host MzGee's attempts to mediate, the apology was not forthcoming. Safo explained his decision to leave, stating, "I maintain respect for the producers, you, and our audience. I choose to leave to allow the show’s continuation. My children watching this would be hurt."

MzGee acknowledged Safo's departure and mentioned ongoing efforts by producers to resolve the conflict.

The debate began when Safo countered actress Christiana Awuni’s claim that the NPP administration failed to disburse funds to film producers, asserting that the National Film Authority (NFA) had provided 80,000 euros to some producers. Ola Michael contested this, stating the funds came from an international grant, not the government.

A Plus accused Safo of spreading misinformation, leading to a fiery exchange. Safo challenged the accuracy of his own statement, asserting, "Some producers received 80,000 euros from the NFA. Verify this with them." A Plus retorted in Twi, calling Safo dishonest and questioning his authority, leading to further escalation.

The NFA has yet to confirm whether the funds were governmental or from an international source.
