The National Coordinator of Ghana Music Rights Organisation (GHAMRO), Mr Yaw Osborne, has slammed Ama Rasta, the Ghanaian musician who invoked curses at the premises of the music rights organisation over unpaid royalties.
In an interview on Adom TV, Mr Osborne said Ama Rasta had no reason to curse members of the organisation.
According to him, he had already explained to Ama Rasta that, her royalties would be paid because “she was part of the musicians whose monies couldn’t be processed” due to a technical error.

Mr Osborne said he told Ama Rasta to exercise patience as he worked around the clock to make sure she collects her music royalties in due time, hence was surprised to see her cursing staff of the music rights company.
“I told her I would make sure she gets paid on Friday. What’s the reason for her cursing us? We don’t give physical cash and that is what she is demanding. We just resumed from holidays so I asked her to exercise patience,” she said.
“She already made up her mind to curse. Her name was part of the error list so we are regrouping musicians who couldn’t receive theirs and pay everyone eventually,” Mr Osborne explained.
Ama Rasta’s curse
A female artiste, only known as Ama Rasta, reigned curses on the management of GHAMRO over the organisation’s failure to pay her royalties.
The artiste was seen in a video with a bottle of what looked like dry gin and some eggs in hand while making her threats at the premises of GHAMRO, on Wednesday.
“Give me my money, it’s that simple,” she said in Twi.
Not even pleas from bystanders for Ama Rasta to abandon her agenda was enough.
