After his announcement, reports emerged that the Accra High Court had granted Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu permission to seek an injunction against the event.

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.

On Thursday, March 5, 2026, Tupac's legal representatives, Daddy Lumba's immediate family members, and evangelist Papa Shee and their lawyers appeared at the Accra High Court for a hearing. Following the short proceedings at the Accra High Court, the judge adjourned the case to Monday, March 23, 2026.

However, the lawyer of Team Legal Wives filed for an abridgement of time, provided the said date was a holiday. After several considerations, the court adjourned the final hearing to Wednesday, March 25, 2026.
