In an interview with media personality Kwabena Owusu Agyemang on Top Radio's Final Point show, Lawyer Kusi clarified reports that Odo Broni had sued Akosua Serwaa in an Accra court.

The lawyer noted that Daddy Lumba's second wife had opened her defence in the case and filed a counterclaim at the Kumasi High Court to question his client's legitimacy as her late husband's spouse.

He noted that Odo Broni and her legal team wanted the court to recognise her as the late highlife legend's wife, arguing that he divorced Akosua Serwaa before his demise, explaining:

"She has now opened her defence in court. She is suing for the court to declare that Daddy Lumba divorced Akosua Serwaa. She also wants the court to recognise her as Daddy Lumba's legal wife."
