Akosua Agyepong is the biggest liar – Rex Omar lashes back at veteran highlife musician over allegations that GHAMRO neglected Akwaboah Snr

Akosua Agyapong, a veteran highlife artist, has levelled charges of negligence against the Ghana Music Rights Organisation (GHAMRO) about the late Kwadwo Akwaboah, commonly known as Akwaboah Snr. Rex Omar, the chairman of the temporary management committee, has vehemently refuted these claims.

Rex Omar, who expressed his shock at the incident on social media, called Akosua "the biggest liar" for waiting until the man had already passed away.

"The biggest liar is Akosua! Why then did she wait till the man's death to talk about it? He asked.

Akosua Agyapong stated in an interview with Tony Best for the Entertainment 360 segment of Kumasi-based Akoma FM on Saturday, May 20, that GHAMRO's officials frequently defrauded and disregarded musicians in need while diverting a sizable amount of funds.

She specifically highlighted the case of Kwadwo Akwaboah, stating that he had informed her before his death that he had received a mere GH¢250 in royalties, which she considered to be evidence of cheating.







But Rex Omar has vehemently contested Akosua’s accusations, asserting that their welfare books contained no records supporting her claims.




He emphasized that Kwadwo Akwaboah was a proud man who would never have made such allegations.




“We have no such records in our welfare books. Kwadwo was a very proud man and will never say any such thing to anyone,” he contested




According to the ‘Abiba’ singer, throughout his illness, Akwaboah Snr had requested assistance from GHAMRO only once, and it was in the form of transportation to the hospital to meet his doctor, with the funds being directly paid to the medical facility.




“During his entire years of sickness it’s only once he has ever asked for assistance from Ghamaro and when we did Ghamro welfare led took to him to the hospital in their vehicle to meet his doctor and there was no money paid to Kwadwo himself but to the hospital,” he disclosed 

Rex Omar also cited the existence of records to substantiate his statements.







Expressing his frustration, Rex Omar questioned why Akosua had suddenly assumed the role of Kwadwo’s spokesperson after his passing and urged her to refrain from spreading fabricated stories, allowing the deceased to rest in peace.




“Records are there to prove this, Kwado is dead so all of a sudden Akosua has become his spokesperson? She should shut up with her fabricated stories and let the man rest in peace,” he added.




Akosua Agyapong has vowed to prevent GHAMRO executives from attending the One-Week Observation, scheduled for Tuesday, May 30 in Kwadwo Akwaboah’s hometown of Trede in the Ashanti Region and it remains to be seen if there will be a face-off between herself and the GHAMRO executives.




The Ghanaian entertainment industry was thrown into a state of mourning on May,16 after it was announced that legendary figure, Akwaboah Snr and the father of renowned singer Akwaboah Jnr. has passed on.




He was well known for his song Awerekyekyere, Odo Bra (W’akye3), Opintin, Adesre and many others.
