Speculation about Guru’s academic background and a possible political future has been building, but the musician says the narrative is off track, stressing that his study of Political Science was never meant as a gateway into public office.
In a recent discussion on the Atuu show with Nana Romeo, the Ghanaian artiste recounted how his return to the classroom had little to do with a calculated shift away from music. Instead, he pointed to sustained pressure from home and a moment of reflection during a break in his career as the real push behind that decision.
For years, he said, his parents had pressed him to complete his education after he chose to focus on music early on. That long-standing expectation eventually caught up with him, prompting a change of heart.
“My parents wanted me to finish my education, but I jumped into doing music, so I was being hunted, and I hadn’t fulfilled my parents’ investment wishes. I was also noted to be doing music at a point, and that is what pushed me back to school,” he explained
Guru also addressed what he described as a widespread misunderstanding about his time at the University of Ghana, explaining that Political Science was not his original course of study.
“I went to Legon to study a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology. I went there because of IT. I switched to Political Science because UTAH went on strike, which delayed me for a few weeks, so that I couldn’t catch up with the rest of the class,” he explained.
The switch, though unplanned, ended up opening doors beyond academics. He pointed to his tenure as SRC president as one of the key outcomes, framing it as hands-on leadership experience rather than a deliberate move toward politics.
“Out of the political science, I realized I had to put my studies into action and later use it as my work reference of what I studied,” Guru stressed.
