Award-winning Ghanaian music duo, Lali X Lola, have expressed deep gratitude to the Minister of Communications, Digital Technology, and Innovation, Samuel Nartey George, for his swift response to their petition.
It may be recalled that Lali X Lola petitioned the ministry on May 19, 2025, noting that they had not received royalties from digital music platform Boomplay since April 2023.
In a recent development, during a discussion on GhanaWeb‘s X Space held on May 23, 2025, the duo revealed that the minister had designated an official to address the issue.
The “Pepper Demm” hitmakers explained that the minister had assigned an expert to investigate the matter and propose an appropriate resolution.
“We actually had a meeting with them this morning and we are grateful they responded within 36 hours. They even tried to reach us earlier but there was a problem with the phone number. They were very responsive, and we appreciate how aggressively they’re pursuing a solution,” the duo shared.
“We met with the Director of Digital Technology, who was mandated by Sam George to understand the issue and draft a report. It was a very fruitful meeting,” they added.
The duo further detailed the key points discussed during the meeting.
“We addressed three main issues. First, the need for oversight in the digital space, especially concerning royalties for artists. Second, the ministry wants to confirm if Boomplay has a functioning office in Ghana. Lastly, we discussed the broader issue of royalties. There will be follow-up meetings, and we believe GHAMRO will be invited to participate,” they said.
Meanwhile, Lali X Lola are gearing up for a live band concert on August 2, 2025, where they plan to showcase their unique sound.
They also recently released a new single titled “Go”, featuring Rappidd.
