In a recent interview with Nana Romeo on Okay FM, the singer stated that he had quit music; however, his encounter with the highlife singer triggered him to continue with his career.
“I had a dream in which Daddy Lumba appeared to me and asked me why I quit music. He told me that he didn't like what I was into. There, I knew it was my soundtrack he was referring to,” he said.
Amada claimed he didn't have many opportunities to meet the late Daddy Lumba when he was alive, but could recount one or two moments he had spent with him.
He further details a warning which seems more like advice the award-winning musician gave to him in a dream.
“In one of my encounters with Lumba, he guided me on what to do and words to use as far as my music career is concerned. He warned me never to title or use the word ‘wanted’ in any song I produce,” Amaba said.

Despite the scandal, the musician was buried on Saturday, December 13, 2025, at his residence in East Legon.
The legacy of Daddy Lumba has since been upheld by the music industry, and his fans have expressed their unconditional love for his craft.
