Daddy Lumba's family 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.
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.

Displeased with the court's decision, Ernestina invoked Otumfuo's Great Oath against him to halt her late brother's funeral and involved traditional leaders to settle the matter.
The Asantehene's sub-chiefs granted Daddy Lumba's sister's request for the funeral committee to be dissolved and a new autopsy to be conducted to determine the cause of her brother's death during several meetings at Manhyia.
As a result, the funeral, which was originally planned for December 6, was reported to have been rescheduled to December 13.

"Excuse me for saying that Charles (Daddy Lumba) is not a chicken. Only two weeks for his funeral? No. The funeral will not happen."
Ernestina also spoke about her recent meeting with the traditional leader of their hometown in Accra.

She questioned why certain family members, including the Abusuapanin, wanted to rush and bury her late brother earlier.
She said:
"I cannot put power in my hands, but if God gives me more life, the date will change. Why two weeks? Why are we rushing? That is the big question."
She noted that she did not need to hold a meeting with her Abusuapanin to seek permission for Daddy Lumba's funeral to be postponed.
