Rapper Sarkodie believes that the issue of royalties for creatives is solvable.
He is of the view that if systems are put in place, creatives will eat from their hard work just like their colleagues in the Western world are doing.

We have our people here playing the music. If there was a system here where they had to log in for every song they play…This evening, they played two of my songs and that could be four cedis. How many events are they having in a week? Parties, Funerals, naming ceremonies among others,” he said.
On whether the existing streaming platforms are being fair he indicated that “that’s their business model and we cannot question them. But some are being fair.
