In a viral interview with Ghanaian blogger Zionfelix, Ofori Amponsah shared fond memories of Daddy Lumba and how his rising fame in school caused unexpected trouble.

He explained that he often skipped school to record songs with Daddy Lumba, jumping over school walls on Saturdays while other students were allowed to watch live entertainment programmes.

One day, the school happened to air a programme featuring him, and students couldn’t contain their excitement, shouting his name loudly. The headmaster, curious about the commotion, tried to locate Ofori Amponsah, but he was nowhere to be found.

This incident ultimately led to the headmaster sacking him from Konongo Odumase Senior High School (KOSS) before he even had a chance to explain himself.

"And you couldn't go to his last respect."

Isaac Otchere commented:

"You later accused him of stealing your songs, but failed to know that at that time, he had to headline those songs as a means of marketing since he was the superstar at the time. Trust me if u had released those Aunty Ataa songs alone, it would have flopped big time."

"Ofori is so humble. I really admire him a lot."

"Ofori Amponsah's music is the only Ghanaian music played in Ivory Coast."
