Public Relations Officer of Ghana Music Rights Organisation (GHAMRO), Prince Tsegah has issued a press released on behalf of the organisation urging musicians to stay calm because their June-July royalty payment may delay.
Mr Tsegah explained that the Organisation has been experiencing some minor problems with regards to the bank levy cheque from the state.
GHAMRO’s crusade to recoup more royalties for musicians whenever their property is used seems to be gaining more steam as they organisation has sued the main telcos in Ghana.
MTN, Tigo, Vodafone et al are parties in a series of suits brought by the organisation, seeking for the companies to be compelled to pay for using musician’s intellectual properties in promoting their products.
It looks a lot like the troubles engulfing the Ghana Music Rights Organisation (GHAMRO) aren’t going away anytime soon because more are simply popping up.
Internal strife over the leadership of Kojo Antwi lead to Abirekyieba Kofi Sammy threatening to shoot him and commit suicide after – and the bone of contention has been over collection of royalties.
Legendary Ghanaian highlife star Abirekyieba Kofi Sammy ignited a firestorm in the Ghana Music Rights Organisation (GHAMRO) Wednesday when he called on God to punish Kojo Antwi, but he seems to be taking it a step further here.
In an interview with Razzonline after the controversies of Wednesday, Kofi Sammy said if he had a gun, he would shoot Kojo Antwi to death and kill himself immediately after.
