In a trending TikTok video, the late singer’s elderly relative, who was described as the female head of the family, stated that as far as she is concerned, Daddy Lumba’s only wife was Akosua Serwaa.
She said that she knew the late highlife musician's first wife and loved her deeply, adding that he did not introduce any other woman to her as his wife.
Daddy Lumba’s grandmother made her comments during a chat with the late highlife legend’s sister, Ernestina Akosua Brimpongmaa Fosuh, who has joined his first wife to fight for her legal rights as the late singer’s only surviving spouse.
“Akosua Serwaa is my beloved. Before marrying into any family, make sure you ask around. Daddy Lumba himself said we should not forget Akosua Serwaa, so how can we forget her? She is going to be the widow; no amount of tears from anyone would change that fact. We do not acknowledge any other wife apart from her.”

Confusion erupts over Daddy Lumba’s widowhood rites
Ghanaian highlife legend Charles Kwadwo Fosuh, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, passed away on July 26, 2025, after a short illness.
After his death, a controversy broke out over which of his two recognised spouses should undergo his widowhood rites.
Germany-based Akosua Serwaa, who Daddy Lumba married in the 1990s, took the case to the Kumasi High Court.
She sought a declaration recognising her as the late musician’s sole legal spouse.
The suit, filed on October 3, also accused Daddy Lumba’s family head, Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu, and his second wife, Odo Broni, of attempting to sideline her in funeral preparations.
Meanwhile, Daddy Lumba’s sister, Ernestina Fosu, dragged Abusuapanin to Manhyia after invoking Otumfuo’s great oath against him.
Below is a TikTok video of the Fosuh family appearing at the Manhyia Palace for the settlement of their dispute.
