Legendary musician Charles Kwadwo Fosuh, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, died on July 26, 2025, at the age of 60.
After his death, a bitter family feud emerged between his family members, leading to multiple lawsuits and a chaotic funeral.
His sister, Ernestina Fosuh, called for his funeral to be suspended for an autopsy to be conducted to discover his cause of death, but family head Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu brushed her claims aside and organised the funeral on December 13, 2025, after emerging victorious in a protracted legal battle.
Simultaneously, his first wife, Akosua Serwaa, sued his second wife, Odo Broni, seeking to be declared his sole legal wife, but was unsuccessful.
Daddy Lumba’s second funeral announced
On Monday, February 2, 2026, veteran hiplife superstar-turned-Evangelist, Papa Shee, announced that a second funeral was being organised for the late highlife legend.
He said the event, dubbed 'The Celebration of the Life of Daddy Lumba', will be scheduled for March 28 and March 29, 2026, in Accra.
It is expected to be attended by members of Daddy Lumba’s immediate family who were dissatisfied with Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu’s funeral, including his sister Ernestina Fosuh, his first wife Akosua Serwaa Fosuh, Wofa Yaw Opoku, and other members of the legal wives faction.
After his announcement, reports emerged that Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu had been granted permission by the Accra High Court to seek an injunction against the event, but Ernestina Fosuh denied that in a statement released on February 16, 2026.
