Celestine Donkor’s Manager Goes After Boomplay Over Unpaid Royalties
Kofi Donkor, the manager and husband of gospel musician Celestine Donkor has demanded immediate payment of all unpaid royalties by the online streaming app, Boomplay.
He alleges that the Ghana office of the streaming service will be shutting down in two days, thereby the race to get their money.
He took to Facebook to make his voice heard after several attempts to get his money proved futile, he indicated.

In the comment section of the post, he revealed he had been receiving excuses for the past 17 months.
“They have been saying this since June last year. Is the contract about the second coming of Yesu?”
