Ghanaian musician Kofi Jamar has publicly opened up about what appears to be an ongoing dispute with his record label, GadOne Records, raising fresh concerns about artist-label relationships within Ghana’s music industry.
The artiste first sparked speculation after posting a cryptic message on his X (formerly Twitter) page. “Fighting for my life and it’s deeper than music,” he wrote, leaving fans concerned and curious about the circumstances behind the statement. The post quickly gained traction, with followers suggesting that his struggles might extend beyond creative differences or studio-related challenges.
Shortly after, Kofi Jamar offered more clarity in an Instagram story, where he directly addressed his frustrations with GadOne Records. According to him, the tension stems from what he described as unfair treatment following seven years of collaboration with the label.
The rapper emphasised that he has been seeking closure and what he considers a rightful split of his work but claims his attempts have been ignored. His statement suggests a breakdown in communication between both parties, as well as unresolved contractual or ownership concerns.
“At this point, I’m just going to ignore and move on. Let it be known that I tried,” he wrote, implying that efforts to resolve the matter amicably may have reached a dead end.
While he did not provide specific details about the nature of the alleged unfair treatment, his remarks have reignited conversations about transparency, contractual obligations, and intellectual property rights within Ghana’s entertainment space. Disputes between artistes and record labels are not new, but public disclosures such as this often draw heightened attention and scrutiny.
The revelation has placed the spotlight on GadOne Records, though the label has yet to release an official statement responding to the claims. Industry observers note that without clarification from both sides, it remains difficult to fully understand the scope of the disagreement.
Kofi Jamar, known for his lyrical depth and energetic performances, has built a strong fan base over the years. His supporters have since flooded social media with messages of encouragement, urging both parties to find a resolution that recognises the artiste’s contributions and protects his rights.
The situation also highlights broader challenges facing emerging and established musicians in Ghana. Artist-label relationships can be instrumental in career growth, but they can also become strained over time, particularly when expectations around revenue sharing, creative control, and contract terms are not clearly aligned.
As the matter unfolds, fans and industry stakeholders alike are closely monitoring developments. Many are hopeful that dialogue and transparency will prevail, allowing for a fair outcome that preserves both professional integrity and artistic freedom.
For now, Kofi Jamar appears focused on moving forward, even as questions linger about the future of his relationship with GadOne Records.
