Ghanaian rapper Darlington Agyekum, known in the music world as D-Cryme, has announced his candidacy for the position of President of the Student Representative Council (SRC) at the Methodist University. The announcement was made in a social media post on April 7, 2025.
“Dear fellow students, the time for transformational leadership is NOW! Team D-Cryme is here to champion a new era of Transparency, Accountability, and Action. Our mission is clear: to build a campus that supports, protects, and uplifts every student,” he wrote on Facebook.
In his post, D-Cryme outlined ten key pillars that his team plans to focus on if voted into power:
Transparency & Accountability
Academic Support & Resources
Student Welfare & Well-being
Campus Infrastructure & Development
Student Engagement, Governance & Participation
Entertainment & Sports
Campus Safety & Security
Financial Support and Scholarships
Amendments and Review of the Constitution
Mature Student Dialogue and Q&A
A week prior to this announcement, D-Cryme shared his vision for the SRC, stating, “Our university is more than just a place of learning; it is a thriving community where ideas, dreams, and aspirations come to life. Over the years, I have dedicated myself to making meaningful contributions to this institution. From pioneering the Wall of Fame, which honors outstanding administrators and lecturers, to launching the Digital Screen Initiative, which enhances communication and engagement across campus, my leadership will always be about innovation, inclusivity, and impact.”
His vision for the SRC is bold, dynamic, and focused on the needs of every student.
This marks the third time in recent years that a Ghanaian musician is running for a student leadership position. On August 23, 2022, Reggae/Dancehall artiste Samini was sworn in as the SRC President at the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA). Currently, Maradona Adjei Yeboah, also known as Guru, serves as the SRC President at the University of Ghana.
D-Cryme is best known for hit songs such as “Kill Me Shy,” “Me Ne Woaa,” “Fine Fine Girl,” and “My Lady,” among others.
