Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Rex Omar, a well-known personality in the arts and a member of the Ghana Music Rights Organization (GHAMRO), has made it clear that the Ghana Music Xperience (GMX) streaming platform was not introduced by the NPP government, as some people have claimed.
He stressed that the platform was initiated privately by an individual, not by the government.
“The streaming app was not launched by the NPP government, as is being portrayed. It is a private initiative by an individual who invited Vice President Bawumia to the launch. It is wrong to create the impression that the NPP government is behind the app,” Rex Omar stated.
He continued to elaborate on the fact that GHAMRO collaborates with the GMX platform developers to assist in generating income for the artists who are under contract with the organization.
“We work with the owner of Ghana Music Xperience, who is assisting us in digitizing the organization. We have already written to the government, and they have promised their support, which is yet to be received,” he added.
Rex Omar recognized the platform as a beneficial source of income for musicians, but he was worried about its strong politicization.
“It is a good initiative, and platforms like Aftown, Uprise, and other private initiatives are also great. But the issue lies in the politicization of the platform,” he noted.
