After the burial service of her late brother, Faustina Fosu received heavy criticism from supporters of her sister-in-law, Akosua Serwaa, for attending the solemn event amid the dispute between members of the family.

In a TikTok live session, Obaa Tiwaa, a UK-based online personality and a prominent supporter of Daddy Lumba's first wife, alleged that the late singer's sister had fallen ill and needed medical treatment.

Faustina Fosu addresses health issue rumours

In a video shared by popular TikToker DarlingMan Sports Historian on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, Faustina was spotted in her all-black funeral cloth making a phone call while sitting under a tree.

Daddy Lumba's youngest sister denied the rumours of being sick as she hurled insults at Obaa Tiwaa for fabricating the stories about her.

She said:

"Tiwaa is saying that I am sick. As I am speaking to you, do I look like someone who is sick? What sickness am I battling? I am not sick."

Faustina, who appeared to be annoyed by the speculation about her health, later proceeded with her phone call with another individual after addressing the matter.

Details of Akosua Serwaa's appeal against Odo Broni ruling surface online, stirring reactions

Amid the confusion, the late musician's first wife, Akosua Serwaa, filed a lawsuit against her husband's family head, Kofi Owusu, and his Ghana-based wife, Odo Broni.

In her lawsuit, she asked the court to declare her the only legal surviving spouse of Daddy Lumba and also bar his second wife, known privately as Priscilla Ofori, from being declared the deceased's wife.

After about a month of proceedings, the Kumasi High Court declined to name Akosua Serwaa the sole legal wife of the late highlife legend, as she had sought.

Why was Akosua Serwaa's case dismissed?

The judge, Justice Dorinda Smith, is reported to have ruled that Akosua Serwaa could not prove that she was Daddy Lumba’s sole legal wife, while Odo Broni was able to prove that she was married traditionally.

The judge further directed that the Germany-based Serwaa and Odo Broni be recognised as the spouses of Daddy Lumba and be allowed to perform the widowhood rites.

The court's decision did not satisfy the late musician's first widow, who has since filed an appeal at the Court of Appeal in Ghana.
