Celestine Donkor’s manager calls out Boomplay over one year unpaid royalties

Gospel singer Celestine Donkor’s manager, Kofi Donkor, has urged a music streaming platform Boomplay, to fulfill its royalty payments to his artist.

In the comments under his Facebook post, Donkor mentioned that Celestine has not received any royalties for more than a year.

He also suggested in his post that the streaming service may be planning to shut down its office in Ghana.

“Boomplay, pay us our royalties before you shut down the Ghana office on Friday!” he stated in his post.

“They haven’t made a payment in over a year. Additionally, I’ve heard that they intend to close their Ghanaian office. We must withdraw our funds immediately,” he stated in an interview with myjoyonline.

3News’ check on Boomplay’s licensing agreement with artistes indicate that the streaming platform does not directly issue payment of royalties to artistes.

Rather, Boomplay has agreement with preferred distribution platforms and distributors for the songs that are submitted on the platform.

The distributors are responsible for music licensing, distribution, and paying the artist their royalties.

“Boomplay artists receive streaming royalties from distributors that are preferred by Boomplay,” the platform’s website said.

Per the streaming platform’s regulations, “artistes can choose a distributor that is preferred by Boomplay to distribute their music. Artistes can receive their royalties monthly and collect them from their bank, PayPal, or Payoneer.”
