In a viral video, the US-based Ghanaian social media personality claimed that the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) disconnected power to the Accra-based station over unpaid bills shortly after Daddy Lumba’s death.
Afia Schwarzenegger claimed that the late singer’s manager, Phillip Appiah Kubi, popularly known as Roman Fada, settled the bill to keep the station in operation.
She also claimed that staff at the station faced layoffs after Daddy Lumba’s death, but his second wife, Priscilla Ofori-Atta, aka Odo Broni, raised funds to pay their salaries and keep the station in business.
Roman Fada recently faced scrutiny after the late singer’s family claimed that he was not the highlife musician's manager, contrary to his claims to the public.
In a statement signed by Akosua Serwaa Fosuh, the late musician's wife, and his sister-in-law, Ernestina Brempomaa Fosuh, the family claimed that Roman Fada had been spreading false funeral details and alleged that he was officially relieved of his role as Daddy Lumba’s manager before the late singer’s death.
Responding to the claims, Afia Schwarzenegger said Roman Fada’s actions demonstrated his loyalty to Daddy Lumba, even after his death.
The Facebook video of Afia Schwarzenegger’s claims is below.
