“It Wasn’t a Celebration”: Odo Broni’s PA Gives Reasons for Pouring Champagne on Her After Ruling

  • On Friday, November 28, 2025, a Kumasi High Court ruled that both Akosua Serwaa and Odo Broni should be recognised as wives of Daddy Lumba
  • After the ruling, a video showed Odo Broni's PA pouring champagne on her to possibly celebrate the victory in court
  • However, Ewura Akua Hayford, Personal Assistant of Odo Broni, said she did not do it to signify their victory or to celebrate

Ewura Akua Hayford, the Personal Assistant (PA) to Daddy Lumba's second wife, Odo Broni, has explained why she bathed her madam in champagne after a Kumasi High Court affirmed her as a wife of the late Ghanaian music legend.

When the court ruled that both Akosua Serwa and Odo Broni should be recognised as wives and allowed to undergo the widowhood rites according to Akan tradition, a “celebratory” video surfaced on social media.

After the video went viral, some people condemned Odo Broni for the act. However, Ewura Akua Hayford explained that the champagne “bathing” was entirely her idea. She did not consult Odo Broni before doing it.

In her explanatory video, Ewura Akua Hayford added that she was in town when she heard the news and decided to buy the drinks. She said she bought seven bottles of champagne and poured all of them on Odo Broni.

“This wasn’t a celebration or any form of jubilation after the court hearing. For me, it was simply a way to ease the pressure on her after all the insults and name-calling she had endured. Odo Broni didn’t know anything about it; I planned everything myself. I felt there was the need for her to be drenched in something finer than the insults.”

"The intent perhaps was right, but the action was very unnecessary. I really don’t fault “Odo Broni” in all of this issue; I fault DL very much for leaving this chaos behind. However, what the PA did was to just put up Odo Broni for more ridicule."
