Captain Smart reacts to Lumba's second funeral
Speaking in a trending video from an episode of his show ‘Onua Maakye', Captain Smart addressed the plan of Papa Shee and members of ‘Team Legal Wives’ to organise a celebration of life for the late Daddy Lumba.
According to him, he sees the event as needless, claiming the highlife legend has already been buried.
The presenter who rained insults on the organisers of the second funeral, questioned if members of “Team Legal Wives” were family of the late artist to take such a decision.
In the heat of the moment, he indicated that he would have “gone to blow up the event ground during the celebration of life should he have had a bomb.
