As photos and videos circulate online, many Ghanaians are being reminded of why the mansion was built and what it truly represents.
The late highlife legend reportedly put up the mansion in just three months after the death of his mother, Ama Saah.
At the time, Daddy Lumba was deeply heartbroken and determined to honour her in the best way he could.
Those close to the family have often shared that his decision was simple.
He wanted a proper home where his mother’s body could be laid before her final burial rites.
Construction moved at an unusual speed, driven by grief and urgency rather than luxury.
Within a short period, the mansion was completed so that his mother could be brought home and laid to rest with dignity.
For Daddy Lumba, it was not about showing wealth. It was about respect, tradition, and fulfilling his duty as a son.
The mansion went viral after his nephew died, and a family gathering at the residence began to circulate online.

Located at Atimatim, a suburb of Kumasi, the mansion has since become one of the most talked-about properties linked to the musician.
