Legendary Hiplife artist Qweci Ded Buddy has voiced his disappointment over the minimal royalties he receives from the Ghana Rights Organisation (GHAMRO).<\/p>\n

GHAMRO, established in 1993, aims to collect and distribute royalties equitably to Ghanaian musicians. However, the organization has faced accusations of inefficiency and corruption.<\/p>\n

Despite releasing his critically acclaimed debut album in 1998, followed by numerous hit albums and songs, Ded Buddy revealed in an interview with GhanaWeekend<\/strong> that he received a mere GHC150 in royalties from GHAMRO over two years ago.<\/p>\n

Ded Buddy, who is currently out with his new single \u201cFavour\u201d, emphasised the situation\u2019s gravity.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Yebesa\u2019 hitmaker expressed his frustration with the current system, suggesting its inadequacy in compensating music creators fairly.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Born Eric Turkson, Ded Buddy was widely admired for his R&B style of songs such as \u2018Yebesa\u2019, which made him a toast back in the day. He travelled to seek greener pastures and is now back in the music scene.<\/p>\n
