Despite his grievances, Jamar expressed gratitude to individuals he had worked with during his time at the label but maintained that the lack of communication had left him stranded at a crucial point in his career.

Following Jamar’s public remarks, GADone Records issued a formal press statement refuting the claims. The label maintained that Jamar remains under contract and accused him of violating the agreement by releasing music and engaging in unauthorised business deals without the label’s consent.

GADone also claimed that the rapper had “full and ongoing access” to his assigned managers and regional representative. The label warned that Jamar’s public commentary risked damaging its reputation.

Unfazed by the response, Jamar took to social media once again, questioning the label’s credibility. “How can a label go inactive for almost a year and still expect an artiste not to find ways to survive?” he asked.

The public fallout has reignited debates within Ghana’s music industry about the nature of record label contracts and the treatment of artistes—especially emerging talents. Jamar’s situation has drawn support from fellow musicians and fans who see his story as a cautionary tale about industry exploitation.
