The Ghana Music Rights Organization (GHAMRO) has paid legendary hip-hop musician Qweci Ded Buddy meager royalties, which has left him disappointed.
GHAMRO was founded in 1993 with the goal of fairly collecting and distributing royalties to musicians in Ghana. Nonetheless, the institution has been accused of corruption and ineptitude.
In a 1998 critically praised album and multiple hit albums and singles later, Ded Buddy disclosed in an interview with GhanaWeekend that he had earned only GHC150 in royalties from GHAMRO more than two years prior.
Ded Buddy emphasized the seriousness of the situation. He is presently touring with his new track, “Favour.”

The “Yebesa” hitmaker voiced his displeasure with the existing system, claiming it falls short of adequately rewarding musicians.
Ded Buddy, whose real name was Eric Turkson, was well-liked for his R&B hits, including “Yebesa,” which elevated him to fame in the past. He returned to the music scene after traveling in search of greener pastures.
