Daddy Lumba’s second funeral announcement, Abusuapanin's injunction
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,' would 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 Team 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.
In subsequent interviews, Daddy Lumba's family head reiterated his plan to stop the second funeral from happening several weeks after the first one was held at the Heroes Park in Kumasi, Ashanti Region, on December 13, 2026.
He slammed Akosua Serwaa and Ernestina Fosuh for refusing to attend the late musician’s funeral, blaming them for how things turned out.
Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu also lamented that Daddy Lumba’s image continued to be tarnished through the never-ending social media battles between factions.
