The family of the late Daddy Lumba has been embroiled in a publicised feud since his demise at 60 on Saturday, July 26, 2025.

The late singer's elder sister, Ernestina, and first wife, Akosua Serwaa, had previously filed an interlocutory injunction against second wife Odo Broni, the family head, and Transitions Funeral Home to halt the December 6 funeral.

Daddy Lumba's first wife accused the family head of sidelining her from the funeral committee's meetings. She also claimed that she only learned of the announced funeral date through social media.

She and Ernestina have made several demands, including the conducting of a new autopsy and investigations to be conducted to determine the cause of the late singer's demise before his burial.

On Tuesday, October 28, 2025, the Kumasi High Court dismissed Akosua Serwaa's injunction application and gave Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu the go-ahead to proceed with the funeral.

Her Ladyship Justice Dorinda Smith Arthur has also scheduled a Case Management Conference for November 14, regarding Akosua Serwaa's bid to be declared the only surviving wife of the late Daddy Lumba.

Odo Broni and her legal team have also filed a counterclaim in court to question the first wife's legitimacy as the late musician's spouse.

She has called on the court to recognise her as the late highlife legend's wife, arguing that he divorced Akosua Serwaa before his demise.
