Ghanaian musician and University of Ghana alumnus, Guru, has responded to social media backlash surrounding the vehicle given to the winner of the Miss University of Ghana pageant. The discussion erupted after concerns were raised about the condition and value of the car awarded during the event, with many claiming the vehicle was too old to be presented as a prize.
Addressing the matter, Guru dismissed the criticism as exaggerated and unnecessary. He argued that the age of a car should not be the main focus, saying “even 100-year-old cars are driven,” suggesting that functionality and usefulness are more important than appearance or age. His comments were aimed at calming tensions and redirecting public attention to the purpose of the prize rather than the controversy around it.
The Miss UG pageant recently came under scrutiny when the winner questioned the quality of the prize car and raised concerns about how the event was organized. The situation sparked online debate, drawing opinions from students, alumni, and entertainment followers nationwide.
Guru’s remarks have added a new angle to the ongoing discussion. While some agree with his perspective, others believe the concerns raised by the winner should not be dismissed, calling for more transparency and better prize standards for campus pageants.
The conversation continues to trend, reflecting broader questions about event organization, accountability, and the expectations placed on university-level competitions.
