The Ghanaian woman Afua Asantewaa O Aduonom, who is ready to shatter the record for the longest singing marathon, has blasted veteran highlife musician Rex Omar for sharing what she claims is a private document on her next project on social media earlier today.
Ghana Music Rights Organization (GHAMRO) Board Chairman Rex Omar has come under fire for remarks he made in a recent interview with GTV, whereby he implied that GHAMRO would cancel Afua’s sing-a-thon competition if she didn’t follow the proper procedures.
On social media, his remarks seem to have provoked a great deal of controversy, with many criticizing his assertions as baseless and discouraging the impending sing-a-thon.
The well-known musician later claimed in a Facebook post that his detractors were acting recklessly because they didn’t understand that his goal was to teach the many music lovers to always act morally so that Collective Management Organizations (CMOs) could maximize collections for the benefit owners of the work/properties.
“Afua and her team are the only people who know the names of SONGS and the artistes who’s work they’re going to USE, all she needs to do is to list those songs and the names of the Artistes of those songs and ask her team to send a copy to Ghamro, under any normal circumstance, this is the right to do I don’t think we’re asking too much. There is a rule to every game, Ghana can’t play games”, a part of his post read.
Armed with the knowledge, Afua and her team submitted the list of songs to GHAMRO, to which Rex Omar posted on Facebook commending her for doing the right thing.

But Afua was not too pleased with the development and called out Rex Omar for posting a confidential document on social media.
She wrote, “This is supposed to be a confidential document for your outfit so why is it public Sir. This is unacceptable”.
Checks by Graphic Showbiz shows that Rex Omar has deleted the post.
Afua Asantewaa O Aduanom has been the subject of discussion since she announced earlier this month that she was prepping up to break the record for the longest singing marathon-Guinness World Records set to begin on Sunday, December 24 to Wednesday, December 27 at Akwaaba Village, near Hajj Village.
