Renowned Ghanaian rapper, Guru NKZ, has sparked a conversation on the need for DNA testing to help address the growing issue of paternity fraud in the country.
In an interview with Kumasi-based Nhyira FM, Guru underscored the significance of confirming a child's paternity at birth through DNA tests to avoid emotional and financial strain later.
Guru, best known for hits like "Boys Abrɛ" and "Lapaz Toyota," shared his own experience of being wrongfully accused of fathering a child, noting how such situations are increasingly common and can deeply affect families."Whether you are the father or mother, as soon as the child is born, request a DNA test to confirm the biological father," he advised, urging parents to normalize the practice as a safeguard.
The rapper's stance has spurred a range of responses across social media.
