Ghanaian Afrobeat musician Fancy Gadam claims that the Ghana Music Rights Organisation (GHAMRO) sent him an additional GHC272 days after publicising their previous payment of GHC102 as royalties.
GHAMRO was established under Section 49 of the Copyright Law, Act 690 of 2005, and regulated under L.I. 1962 of 2010, to collect and distribute royalties on behalf of authors/composers and other right holders.
Speaking on Artsy on Saturday (3 August) Gadam said, “They sent me GHC102 and after I posted it on my status, and then when my boss saw it he then posted it and yesterday they sent another one. They sent me GHC272.”
“I don’t even know the period of this payment. It’s been a year since I received money from them.”
According to the “Total Cheat” hitmaker, the organisation does not provide any criteria for these funds.
“So you will usually be there, and then they just sent you a token for royalties. And I don’t understand because, looking at what I have brought out this year, I know my songs are everywhere in Ghana, especially the competition album that I dropped. Looking at the streams out there.”
He added, “And I have been paying a lot of things before doing my concerts, like VAT, I constantly pay VAT so I don’t understand why they are giving me this token. Is this the only thing I deserve from GAMRO? The last time they paid me it was GHC1,800 or so.”
