"The odo broni was Mrs Akosua Serwaa Fosu's name, but later Lumba used it for everyone around him, but not for Priscilla and Anokye. Supremo was Lumba's son."

Lennis Kwesi Darlington Ireland added:

"This is Daddy Lumba's biological son, whom he had with a woman he didn't accept responsibility for, and threatened her not to disclose it. But you know what, blood is blood.

This gentleman was my personal barber before he came to the limelight in music.
