The funeral of the late highlife icon Charles Kwadwo Fosuh, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, was held on Saturday, December 13, 2025, at Heroes Park located at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi.
The contentious funeral occurred after months of legal battles and social media feuds between supporters of his two wives, Akosua Serwaa and Priscilla Ofori Atta, popularly known as Odo Broni.
Akosua Serwaa and the late singer’s immediate family, led by his sister Ernestina Fosuh, opposed the December 13 funeral date for various reasons, while Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu and Odo Broni pushed for the burial to swiftly occur.
On December 12, the Accra High Court finally cleared the way for the funeral to be held after a deadline for the immediate family to pay Abusuapanin GH₵ 2million to injunct the funeral passed.
Below is a Facebook post with details of the court case over Daddy Lumba's funeral.
Daddy Lumba’s kids ‘snub’ Abusuapanin at funeral
After losing the legal battle, Akosua Serwaa, Ernestina Fosuh, and most members of the late singer’s immediate family boycotted the December 13 funeral.
Akosua Serwaa’s children, however, made their way to Ghana to attend their late father’s funeral, stirring conversations online.
Many Ghanaians said their decision to attend the funeral, contrary to their mother’s wishes, indicated that they did not support her.
Calvin, Charlyn, and Ciara Fosuh were spotted at the funeral in a sombre mood as their father was buried.
They also attended a Thanksgiving Service held on December 14 to commemorate the successful burial of the late legend.
Following the funeral’s conclusion, a video has emerged on social media appearing to show an awkward encounter between Akosua Serwaa’s children and Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu.
In the video, the happy Abusuapanin walked towards Calvin and his stepsister, Denise Fosuh, in an attempt to hug them both.
Denise hugged the family head, but Calvin appeared to decline the chance to hug Abusuapanin.
He also moved towards Calvin’s sisters, Charlyn and Ciara, but neither chose to hug him.
The video of the moment has stirred drama on social media, with many Ghanaians interpreting the video as proof that Akosua Serwaa’s children had not betrayed their mother as others had speculated.
