Daddy Lumba’s wife, Akosua Serwaa, and her children have filed an injunction against the funeral of the late musician.

In a press statement issued on October 9, 2025, and sighted by YEN.com.gh, Akosua Serwaa, who described herself as Daddy Lumba’s legally wedded wife, said she was not consulted in Daddy Lumba's funeral.

“On 8th October 2025, Abusuapanyin Kofi Wusu granted an interview in which he publicly announced a funeral date for Mr. Fosuh - without consulting Mrs. Akosua Serwah Fosuh (the legal wife) or their children. This action shows a complete lack of respect for the immediate family, who must make appropriate preparations before traveling to Ghana for the funeral,” the statement said.

She said she and her children heard the news through social media, which she described as disturbing.

Akosua Serwaa alleged that she had been sidelined throughout the funeral preparations, pointing a finger at Lumba’s abusuapanin, Kofi Owusu.

“Since the passing of Mr. Fosuh, there has been a continuous and deliberate effort to marginalise Mrs. Akosua Serwah Fosuh, the wedded wife, in all funeral-related decisions. This behavior is unacceptable and contrary to both cultural and moral principles,” it added.

The statement added that to resolve all issues, she had initiated legal procedures to seek an injunction against the funeral.

“We also wish to remind the public that Mr. Charles Kwadwo Fosuh was a citizen of the Federal Republic of Germany, and was legally married to Mrs. Akosua Serwah Fosuh on 23rd December 2004 in Bornheim, Germany. Under German law, no man who is already legally married can enter into another marriage,” the statement continued.

Entertainment journalist reacts to Lumba's wives' feud

In an interview with YEN.com.gh, Ghanaian journalist and author Vanessa Bless Nordzi addressed the unfortunate saga between Daddy Lumba's wives.

"I can't believe Daddy Lumba's family is dragging his name through the mud. This is so disheartening. Then again, this is what happens when you, as a man, mess with women in your youth, thinking there are no consequences. Hmmm. It's really sad. These are the things that happen when you don't leave a good legacy behind. This would make it very difficult for him to rest in peace. If they're so concerned about widowhood, his wives can share his corpse and bury him," she said.
