No Entity For Artistes Is As Useless As GHAMBRO – Edem
Ghana Music Rights Organization, the nation's organization responsible for collecting royalties, has been attacked by rapper Edem (GHAMRO).
Some of the rapper's colleagues have revealed the amount of money they have gotten from GHAMRO thus far for their labor, but it is unclear what may have sparked the rapper's retaliation.
Local musicians have been complaining about GHAMRO's pitiful payments for years, and they've made many requests for leadership to make sure they were paid the proper amount for the usage of their songs.
Gospel singer Nhyira Betty, with over 17 years in the industry, has lamented the peanuts handed to her by GHAMRO after five albums.
“After five albums with 2 hit songs “Yebedwire” Bema Ena” Ghana Music Rights Organization (GHAMRO sent me GHC153. It was 400 the first time they started sharing but reduce to this Amount 153 (hundred and fifty three Ghana cedis). These songs of mine are played and performed everywhere. Pls check Youtube channel for the songs talking about.
“It's been 17 years in the gospel music industry; I get this payment share; what will the upcoming ones get,” parts of the singer's post read.
Nhyira Betty's post made Edem take to Twitter to write:
No entity for Artiste in Ghana be useless pass “GHAMRO” on my Mama…on GOD.”
