Following the death of the highlife legend on July 26, 2025, there have been a lot of controversies popping up from his family. The scandal began with a legal battle between his two wives and has since spread to his extended family.
One of the trending sagas surrounding the family of Daddy Lumba is the case concerning his family head. After the burial of the highlife legend, his relatives expressed their disapproval of Victor Kofi Owusu as their Abusuapanin, citing misconduct before, during, and after the funeral rite of the singer.
On February 26, the family held an initial meeting during which Tupac was absent. They accused him of bringing the family into disrepute and ordered him to appear on March 11 to respond to the charges or face removal.
Daddy Lumba’s family allegedly destools Abusuapanin
On Wednesday, March 11, the Ekuona family held a meeting to deliberate on a motion to remove Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu from his position.
Unfortunately, the head was absent, triggering his relatives to allegedly remove him from his position.
After the meeting, other members of the immediate family, including Mama China and Daddy Lumba’s uncle, Wofa Yaw Opoku, spoke to the media and confirmed the decision reached by the family.
The family shared a press release to confirm the claim, cautioning the public who wished to transact business with Abusuapanin Tupac on behalf of the family.
“The Ekuona Abusua wishes to state clearly, firmly, and without ambiguity that Mr Victor Kofi Owusu no longer holds any customary, moral, or legal mandate to represent the Paakoso Clan or the Ekuona family in any capacity whatsoever.”
“Accordingly: Any individual, institution, lawyer, business entity, or member of the public who chooses to engage, transact, negotiate, or enter into agreements with him in the name of the Ekuona Abusua or in matters relating to the legacy or estate of the late Daddy Lumba does so entirely at their own risk.”
“The family shall not recognise, honour, or be bound by any such dealings; it reserves the right to take appropriate legal and traditional action to protect its interests.”
“Persons who knowingly collaborate with or aid the former Abusuapanin in misrepresenting family authority may expose themselves to civil claims, legal sanctions, and customary consequences,” as part of the press release reads.
