Ghanaian musicians are still not enthused about royalties they receive from the Ghana Music Rights Organisation (GHAMRO).
GHAMRO as an organization is responsible for the collection and distribution of royalties to Ghanaian musicians.
Most of these artistes say the monies they get as royalties are nothing to write home about.
Rapper Desmond Blackmore popularly known as D Black told Hitz Hightable that “the monies given to artistes as royalties cannot buy champagne in my club.”
“In 2016 someone called me from there and told me all the A list artiste and producers had 600 cedis each with them so I should send my mobile money number,” said.
D Black said some artistes were given 450 cedis last year.
The Black Avenue boss said he questioned how GHAMRO arrives at the amount A list or B list artistes are given, but he was told that is how the system is.
“That means if Sarkodie releases 10 songs in a year and I don’t, we are all A list artistes we still get the same amount of money, it does not make sense,” he told Dr Pounds, host of the show.
The rapper revealed he does not take money from the organisation but focuses on his companies, his music and how he can make money from that by himself.
