OFM Computer World, Boomplay, Multi Debrich Group, Jama Praise by Lady Mercy, Ethel, Ayaya
The controversy surrounding Boomplay Music has intensified as OFM Computer World Europe and Multi Debrich Group Ltd Ghana uncover a growing list of illegally uploaded gospel songs on the platform.
Involving “Ethel” and the song “Jama Praise,” investigators have identified another artist, “Ayaya,” who has allegedly uploaded and monetized multiple unlicensed Ghanaian gospel songs, including “The Birth of Jesus Christ.”
According to DebrichGroup.com analyst, the songs in question are “Jama Praise” and “The Birth of Jesus Christ”, were originally recorded as cover medleys by a group of five Ghanaian gospel singers: Lady Mercy, Aunty Becky, Joycelyn Oduro, Janny, and Sarah.
However, according to OFM Computer World’s investigation, the two Boomplay users are not part of the performing group and have been collecting revenue and digital royalties generated from streams, downloads, and copyright claims across social platforms such as TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram.
Unauthorized Uploads and Illegal Monetization On Boomplay
OFM Computer World Europe’s digital analysis revealed that artist “Ethel” uploaded the song “Jama Praise” and artist “Ayaya” uploaded “The Birth of Jesus Christ” to Boomplay, both of which were cover compilations performed by the Ghanaian gospel ensemble.

These uploads were monetized without any licensing agreement or permission from the performers or the original composers of the songs. Even more alarming, Boomplay’s content system reportedly issued copyright claims on social media, including TikTok — redirecting revenue to these unauthorized uploaders, while the genuine artists remain unrecognized and unpaid.

“This is an unacceptable abuse of intellectual property,” said a spokesperson from OFM Computer World Europe.

“Artists like Ethel and Ayaya are illegally profiting from content they did not create, and Boomplay’s system has enabled it by failing to verify content ownership.”

Two-Week Legal Notice to Boomplay
In response, OFM Computer World Europe, together with Multi Debrich Group Ltd Ghana, has issued a formal 14-day legal ultimatum to Boomplay to:

* Remove all songs uploaded by “Ethel” and “Ayaya” that infringe on the work of other Ghanaian gospel singers.
* Permanently ban these accounts from uploading further music.
* Cease all monetization and royalty payouts related to the songs “Jama Praise” and “The Birth of Jesus Christ.”
* Withdraw all copyright claims associated with these titles on TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.
* Review and reform its upload verification system to ensure only authorized rights holders can monetize content.

Failure to act within the stipulated two weeks will result in legal escalation to international agencies including the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), and the Ghana Copyright Office.
OFM Computer World’s Findings: A Widening Problem on Boomplay
This recent investigation report shows that Boomplay’s Ghanaian content system mutes songs longer than one minute when uploaded by rightful performers, while unauthorized versions remain fully playable and monetized.

Such practices suggest algorithmic manipulation or system bias, where the legitimate uploaders, including the Ghanaian gospel singers are blocked from full streaming access while infringing versions continue to generate income.
