According to them, Abusuapanin Tupac didn't follow due process before, during, and after the burial ceremony of Daddy Lumba. They threw three questions at him, asking:

“Where was Daddy Lumba buried? Who is taking his place since he is no more? And when is he coming to give an account of the funeral rite he organised for the singer?”

They further indicated that they planned on removing Abusuapanin Tupac from his post as the family head, but have given him the benefit of the doubt in the meantime. According to the family, he has two weeks to appear before them and answer the questions, or they will overthrow him.

Speaking in an interview with Ezra Radio shared by Gossip24tv, Abusuapanin Tupac emphatically stated that, apart from the King of the Ashanti Kingdom, Otumfuo Osei Tutu, no one in the family can take his position from him.

According to him, he did not join the meeting because anytime he called for a forum as the family head, his relatives at Parkoso did not show up, and so there was no need for him to attend theirs.

He added that he is quite surprised that he is being threatened because most of the people present at the meeting are not his family members, explaining that Mama China, the woman who spoke to the media, should tell everyone the role she holds in the family because, allegedly, she is not his relative.

Answering the question about where Lumba was buried, Abusuapanin Tupac indicated that just as Afia Schwarzenegger said, he was buried in his house at East Legon, adding that his relatives, who claim they are not aware, know where his tomb is situated.

Speaking about accountability, he stated that following Daddy Lumba's burial, he organised a family meeting where he accounted for everything concerning the funeral, disclosing that he was surprised his Parkoso relatives are still demanding that.

Lumba's Abusuapanin concluded that he had been summoned before Otumfuo Osei Tutu after he declared that his self-acclaimed relatives at Parkoso are not his family.
