In my 20 years music career never have I been paid any royalties – Kwaw Kese discloses

In my 20 years music career never have I been paid any royalties – Kwaw Kese discloses

Ghanaian rapper, Kwaw Kese has publicly announced that since commencing his music career, he hasn't received royalties from GHAMRO in the past twenty years.

The rapper revealed this shocking news on his official Twitter account.

According to Kwaw, bloggers, DJs, radio, and Tv stations are paid to promote the music content of artists but nothing profitable is gained at the end of everything.

He captioned his post;

"20 years of doing music in Ghana and never got paid any royalties."

"You rather have to pay DJs to play your music, pay tv to show your videos, bloggers to blog your content and press media to give you press."

"How can you survive this industry by financing all these by urself?"


In addition to Kwaw Kese's complaint of not receiving his royalties as a musician, gospel artist, Nhyira Betty also made complaints of receiving a low amount of money as royalty from GHAMRO after 17 years of her music career, and Edem who is also a rapper lambasted GHAMRO for being a useless entity for musicians in Ghana.

These developments show most musicians in the country have a lot of issues concerning their craft in terms of financial support and assistance.

And this has caused many who have been quiet for a long time to voice out their displeasure.
