Akosua Serwaa's legal battles over Daddy Lumba
Her bid to be considered the sole legal wife of Daddy Lumba hit a snag after the Kumasi High Court ruled that the documents of her civil marriage in Germany, which she presented, were not acceptable and thus made her a co-wife to Odo Broni under customary law.
Following the rule, Akosua Serwaa declared her intention to appeal and subsequently abstained from her late husband's funeral after the then family head, Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu, refused to heed the concerns of her and her sister-in-law, Ernestina Fosu.
After Daddy Lumba’s controversial funeral on December 13, 2025, his immediate family members, led by his sister, Ernestina, and Papa Shee, announced a second event being planned in his honour.

Daddy Lumba's celebration of life in limbo
After the celebration of life event was announced, the former Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu filed an injunction at the Accra High Court.
The case was adjourned to March 25, 2025, which saw Papa Shee and Daddy Lumba’s first wife, Akosua Serwaa, all appear before the Accra High Court.
After the deliberations, the case was adjourned to April 23, 2026, effectively meaning that the event would need to be cancelled or rescheduled.
Moments after the court's decision, Papa Shee spoke to the media, claiming there would be a celebration, not for the late Daddy Lumba but for Akosua Serwaa.
Her extended family, including Kaakyire and other relatives, arrived in Accra on Thursday, March 26, 2026, for the celebration of the life of their sister.

Akosua Serwaa's sister details family's support
Answering bloggers' questions about why the family seemed to have abandoned Akosua Serwaa while people on social media fight for her, Kaakyire argued that was not the case.
She noted that her sister was not alone in her battle and had the full backing of the family.
According to her, Akosua Serwaa's siblings and family members had not actively been seen around her because almost everyone of them is living abroad.
"It is not like she [Serwaa] does not have siblings or family. When it comes to support and prayers, we always have her back, but we are all living abroad. We cannot abandon her. So please tell those concerned."
She thanked Akosua Serwaa's lovers and prayed for God's blessings for them for their wholehearted support after her husband's passing in July 2025.
"God bless all of you. She has not paid any of you, but you are supporting her because you have good hearts and know what is right, so God should bless everyone of you," she said.
