The anniversary is reportedly scheduled for July 26, 2026, and the disagreement centres on who has the right to plan and sanction events held in the late musician's name.
Abusuapanyin Tupac pushes ahead with anniversary plans
Victor Kofi Owusu, widely known as Abusuapanyin Tupac and a former head of the Ekuona Family, publicly announced that his faction had begun preparations for the anniversary commemoration.
He also shared that customary widowhood rites for Daddy Lumba's widow, Odo Broni, were part of the planned activities.
Abusuapanyin Tupac called on family members to set aside their differences and allow the occasion to proceed without disruption, stressing that the priority should be honouring the legacy of the legendary musician rather than allowing internal politics to derail the remembrance.
Rival faction rejects his authority
The opposing faction, led by Nana Kwabena Brefo, has flatly rejected Abusuapanyin Tupac's involvement, arguing that he was destooled and that questions over family leadership remain unresolved in court.
According to this faction, no anniversary event has received any official family endorsement, and no individual or group has the right to use Daddy Lumba's name, image, or the "DL" brand for any public activity without proper authorisation.
The group also challenged the proposed widowhood rites for Odo Broni, questioning how the process could be initiated when, by their account, the family never formally commenced it in the first place.
They further raised the issue of Daddy Lumba's burial location, saying the family has not been given clear information about where exactly he was interred.
