Ghanaian rapper Darlington Agyekum, popularly known as D-Cryme, has announced his candidacy for President of the Student Representative Council (SRC) at Methodist University. He made the announcement 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 lead a new era of Transparency, Accountability, and Action. Our mission is clear: to create a campus that supports, protects, and uplifts every student,” he wrote on Facebook.
In his post, D-Cryme highlighted ten key areas his team will focus on if elected:
- 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 before the announcement, D-Cryme shared his vision for the SRC, stating, “Our university is more than just a place of learning; it’s a vibrant community where ideas, dreams, and aspirations come to life. Over the years, I’ve worked hard to make meaningful contributions to this institution. From creating the Wall of Fame to recognizing exceptional administrators and lecturers, to launching the Digital Screen Initiative for better communication across campus, my leadership will always focus on innovation, inclusivity, and impact.” His vision for the SRC is ambitious, dynamic, and centered on the needs of every student.
This marks the third time in recent years that a Ghanaian musician has run for a student leadership position. In August 2022, Reggae/Dancehall artist Samini was sworn in as 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 hits like “Kill Me Shy,” “Me Ne Woaa,” “Fine Fine Girl,” and “My Lady,” among others.
