<h1>Speaking in an interview on Accra-based Power FM, Fancy Gadam said that receiving such a small amount from GHAMRO <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/entertainment/celebrities/prophesy-fancy-gadam-will-make-all-the-noise-but-wont-go-anywhere-blakk-rasta/y728sc4">proves that the organisation does not take the affairs of its members seriously.</a></h1>

<p><a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/entertainment/celebrities/coat-vien-patapaa-is-a-joker-not-a-musician-fancy-gadam/9bs2rt3">He voiced his concern for veteran </a>artists who rely on royalties from their work, stating that artists in Ghana do not deserve to receive such minimal amounts. </p>

<p><em>“I feel like they don't take us seriously because if they give Fancy Gadam that kind of money, what about the older artists who are doing music as their work and are waiting for royalties? It hurts. Are they trying to tell me that this is what I deserve for a whole year? I don't understand. I'm in pain right now,”</em> he said.</p>

<p>Fancy Gadam highlighted his contributions to the music industry, noting the popularity of his songs in Ghana, especially his recent album <em>"Competition."</em> </p>

<p><em>“I didn’t know how to put it. I just feel like the last time they sent me it was GH₵1800, so. And I don’t know why they are telling me that this year all I can get is GH₵350 when it is this year that I even worked more,”</em> he added.</p>

<p>He questioned the <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/entertainment/music/vgma-aftermath-fancy-gadam-fires-back-at-patapaa-go-and-die-if-you-dont-understand/ptf46w5">modest amount received from GHAMRO</a>, considering his expenses, such as VAT payments for his concerts. </p>

<p>The <em>"Total Cheat"</em> hitmaker expressed confusion over the criteria used by GHAMRO for these payments and mentioned that he is <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/entertainment/celebrities/local-star-i-wont-stop-singing-in-hausa-and-dagbani-just-to-go-international-fancy/tyf658g">unsure about the specific period covered by this payment.</a></p>

<p>GHAMRO, established under Section 49 of the Copyright Law, Act 690 of 2005, and regulated under L.I. 1962 of 2010, is responsible for collecting and distributing royalties on behalf of authors, composers, and other rights holders.</p>
