Following the death of the highlife artist on Saturday, July 26, 2025 and the subsequent one-week observation ceremony, which took place on August 30, a dispute ensued between his family members.
Amid the controversy, one of the leading voices behind the first wife of Lumba was Papa Shee. He was seen in videos supporting Akosua Serwaa (Team Legal Wives) through her court battles.
While some Ghanaians praised his support, others also accused him of allegedly being behind the scandal in Lumba's family.
Christiana Awuni blasts Shee over Lumba’s funeral
Speaking in a recent interview on Aluta FM, Christina Awuni expressed disbelief that Papa Shee was reportedly involved in Daddy Lumba's family affairs.
“If not for Ghana, I never knew someone who is not part of a family could lead a revolution over the death of someone he is not blood related to,” she said.
According to the actress, she has learnt a lot of lessons from the family dispute of the legend, but she is reluctant to voice out her thoughts completely because she might be criticised.

Papa Shee accused of taking donation money
In a TikTok Live session on Wednesday, February 11, 2026, Ashante Queen, a member of Team Legal Wives, alleged that some Ghana-based associates of the group took GH₵20,000 from the donations to file Akosua Serwaa's appeal in her dispute with Odo Broni.
She alleged that Papa Shee also took some money from the raised funds and appeared not to have mentioned it to the other members of their group. Ashante Queen claimed that the evangelist initially denied taking a portion of the donation money during an offline conversation with Akosua Serwaa and other members.
She claimed that Papa Shee later admitted to taking money from the contribution of Team Legal Wives members and that Daddy Lumba's eldest widow initially did not believe he had committed the alleged act.
Ashante Queen claimed that the evangelist later clarified what he used the money he allegedly took from the donation for. She also shared more information regarding her phone calls with Papa Shee and Akosya Serwaa.
