I receive royalties from South Africa, UK – M.anifest to Rex Omar

Ghanaian rapper and songwriter, M.anifest has reacted to music royalties claim by the Chairman of the Ghana Music Rights Organisation (GHAMRO), Rex Omar.

He tweeted that though he is not a registered member of South African Music Right Organisation (SAMRO) and UK’s Performing Rights Society (PRS) yet he receives his royalties from them.

“I’m not a member of samro or prs but s.a. and u.k. royalties have been flowing. Thanks for understanding. You’re a legend BTW. Much respect,” he wrote.

This comes after M.anifest told the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in an interview that he had not received a penny from the Ghana Music Rights Organisation (GHAMRO) as royalties since he started music.

“Shout outs to GHAMRO. I know you people are working but please work hard so I can get my royalties. I haven’t received a single penny from you guys,” he said.

I'm not a member of samro or prs sir but s.a and u.k royalties have been flowing. Thanks for understanding. You're a legend BTW! Much respect. https://t.co/xC5uU7KqoQ
