In a shocking Facebook post, Kofi Donkor, manager and husband of renowned Ghanaian gospel singer Celestine Donkor, has accused music streaming giant Boomplay of withholding royalties owed to them.
With Boomplay’s Ghana office reportedly shutting down soon, Donkor is demanding payment before the doors close for good.
“Pay us our royalties before you close down the Ghana office on Friday!” he urged.
This bombshell raises questions about Boomplay’s royalty payment structure. Do they pay artists directly or through distributors? The company’s silence on this matter has sparked concern.
Donkor’s plea has sparked a wider conversation about artists’ rights and fair compensation in the music industry.
