Vanessa Gyan, a daughter of the late Ghanaian keyboardist Kiki Gyan has vented her spleen at the Ghana Music Rights Organization (GHAMRO).
The radio and television personality is not happy with how the copyright organisation has neglected her late father, who was a member of the popular Osibisa band.
In a series of tweets, Vanessa alleged that her late father, Kiki Gyan, has not been captured in GHAMRO’s database.
“GHAMRO has no info for my dad in their database but they do of the other band mates. Sooooooo, nobody thought to reach out to any of his family members? A whole Kiki Gyan. Well,” she wrote.
She also noted that her late father has not received any royalties, even though songs by the band are played all over Ghana, adding that the other two bandmates, of Ghanaian descent, still receive royalties.
“So two members of the group have been receiving royalties and the rest are what? Chop liver? Okay,” she tweeted.
According to her, the disregard shows the Ghanaian music industry is just rude and disrespectful.
Vanessa’s comments come after it was announced by Rex Omar, the Interim Chairman of GHAMRO that Shatta Wale has an amount of GHC 30,000 to receive as royalties.
