In the now-viral footage, Epstein and a group of his associates are captured during a visit to what looks like a wilderness-style zoo.
Sitting inside an open safari vehicle, the group appears relaxed and carefree as Guru’s song plays in the background.
They were captured vibing to the track, singing along and enjoying every moment.
The clip feels almost unreal.
A song that once echoed through Ghanaian streets and parties is suddenly heard playing in a zoo halfway across the world, with a group of white foreigners confidently chanting the lyrics.
The cultural contrast alone has made the video impossible to ignore and has sparked endless reactions online.
Originally released years ago, "Alkayida Boys Abre" became one of Guru’s biggest records.
It connected deeply with young people and became a symbol of street pride.
At the time, few could have imagined the song would one day resurface in such strange and controversial circumstances.
