Rex Omar thinks Ghanaian musicians care way too much about the Grammy Awards. The veteran performer heads the Ghana Music Rights Organisation, where he sees artists focus on international recognition instead of local honors. He told reporters that musicians who look down on the Ghana Music Awards but dream of Grammy success miss the point completely. The Grammy Awards were created for American artists rather than African musicians. Rex Omar serves as a Presidential Staffer handling the Black Stars Experience alongside his music industry duties.

He noticed many artists use awards like the Grammys and BETs to measure their success rather than celebrating local achievements. This attitude hurts the value of Ghanaian award programs that showcase talent from the country. Music fans often push their favorite artists toward international goals before they find success at home. Rex Omar wants performers to respect local platforms that help build their careers first. His comments come as more African artists look toward global recognition without first establishing strong local support.
