Unexpected appearance of Ghanaian hit in controversial footage sparks shock, memes and debate online
Ghanaian rapper Guru has found himself unexpectedly trending on global social media after his hit song “Alkayida (Boys Abre)” resurfaced in a viral video purportedly linked to the recently released Jeffrey Epstein files.
In the widely circulated clip, Epstein and several associates are seen riding in a safari-style vehicle while Guru’s track plays audibly in the background. The strange crossover between the controversial footage and a popular Ghanaian song has triggered shock, humour and intense debate online.
Social media users across platforms have reacted with disbelief and jokes, questioning how the song found its way into such a setting. Others have used the moment to highlight the far-reaching and often unpredictable global circulation of African music.
While the origins and context of the video remain unclear and unverified, the resurfacing has reignited conversations about the international footprint of Ghanaian music, with many noting that local hits can travel far beyond their intended audiences.
Neither Guru nor his management has commented on the viral clip at the time of reporting. Nonetheless, the moment has once again placed the rapper’s music at the centre of online discourse, albeit under unusual and controversial circumstances.
