In an interview with Peace FM journalist Akwasi Aboagye, Lawyer Kusi stated that family members had informed him that a CAL bank account set up to raise funds was being used by the family head for his personal needs.
Daddy Lumba’s one-week observance was held at the Black Star Square on August 31, 2025, following his tragic passing on July 26.
The event was attended by numerous high-profile Ghanaians including political leaders such as former President Nana Akufo-Addo, former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, and showbiz personalities, including Sarkodie, Kwabena Kwabena, Amakye Dede, Kojo Antwi, and others.
Most dignitaries made hefty donations during the ceremony, and Daddy Lumba’s Abusuapanin later stated that the funds were all accounted for, and the family made a net profit.
Below is a TikTok video of Daddy Lumba’s Abusuapanin speaking about the money raised at the late musician's one-week observance.
Daddy Lumba’s Abusuapanin accused of squandering funds
Following the late singer’s death, a power struggle emerged between his two wives, Akosua Serwaa and Odo Broni.
On October 2, Akosua Serwaa dragged Odo Broni and Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu to the Kumasi High Court to stop them from organising the funeral without her involvement and for her to be declared as the late singer’s legal wife.
The first hearing in the case was held on October 16, after which the lawyer for Daddy Lumba's first wife granted an interview to speak about their case against the defendants.
He argued that his client needed to be brought in to handle affairs for her late husband’s funeral because the family head had allegedly misappropriated funds.
Lawyer Kusi claimed that a CAL bank account under the family head’s control, which was used to raise funds during the one-week, was being used for his personal expenses, including renting an expensive hotel room while staying in Accra.

Entertainment journalist addresses Lawyer Kusi's Abusuapanin allegation
In an interview with YEN.com.gh, blogger Samuel Clement-Enoku addressed Lawyer Kusi's accusations against Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu.
"The family of the late Daddy Lumba are vampires—whose interests are solely his money and properties—and not his legacy. Since his death, it’s been all about money, properties and wives brouhaha. Now Ghanaians know the kind of family the highlife legend had," he stated.
