Ghanaian musician Bisa Kdei has publicly criticized the Ghana Music Rights Organization (GHAMRO) after receiving a surprisingly small royalty payment.
In a recent interview with Angel FM, Kdei expressed his dismay over the GH¢500 he received for his hit songs “Mansa” and “Brother Brother,” both of which were released in 2016.
According to Bisa Kdei, a GHAMRO representative contacted him to inform him about the royalty payment.

However, the artist was outraged by the amount. “It was GH¢500. And I told the GHAMRO representative never to call me ever again,” Bisa Kdei stated.
Bisa Kdei said he thought that after all these years of releasing hit songs, he would have received a weighty offer from GHAMRO. However, that was not the case.
“At that time, my hit songs were a lot. Mansa and Brother Brother were very powerful. They were everywhere. So I even thought that when the money drops, it would be something to write home about.”
Some Ghanaians were concerned about whether Ghanaian musicians paid their dues to GHAMRO and demanded huge royal fees.

Below are the opinions of Ghanaians regarding what Bisa Kdei had to say about the royalties system in Ghana in the Angel FM interview:
@OfficialBigkay said: “The real question is; How many of our artists actually pay their monthly dues to GHAMRO? They don’t contribute but still expect to receive high payments. This is problematic bro.”
