After the short media address, which went viral on social media, several Ghanaians online compared Nana Konadu Agyemang-Rawlings’ Abusuapanin to that of the late music legend, Daddy Lumba.
The late music icon passed away on Saturday, July 26, 2025, and since then, his family's head, Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu, has been in the news for various reasons.
Kofi Owusu first grabbed headlines on July 29, 2025, after he granted an interview, during which he issued a strong warning to Priscilla Ofori Atta, popularly known as Odo Broni, the widow of the late highlife legend.
At the time, he accused Odo Broni of being very disrespectful to the family and vowed that the funeral would not go ahead without their involvement.
There have been subsequent issues with him. Some of them include the legal battle initiated by Akosua Serwaa and the allegations that he squandered money received during Daddy Lumba’s one-week observation.
However, Ghanaians on social media described the Abusuapanin of Nana Konadu’s family as someone who looks and sounds responsible. Some said he looked like someone who would support the children in these hard times.
