Roman Fada has blasted Ghanaians who are speaking ill of the late singer following his passing.

In a viral interview, he stated that most people would never have had the opportunity to meet the legendary musician had he still been alive, yet they dare to insult him and tarnish his image.

He went on to assert that Daddy Lumba charged GH¢500,000 to perform at a concert for just thirty minutes. Fada also mentioned the names of event organizers who could confirm this claim.

Fosu) to that of global icons. In the now-viral video, Fada declared that he held the late musician to the same standards as Michael Jackson and Bob Marley.

His assertion comes after the late highlife singer’s funeral, which took place on Saturday, December 13, 2025, at Heroes Park in Kumasi.
