A close family friend of the Fosu family has opened up about the late Kofi, nephew of Ghana music legend Daddy Lumba.

In an interview with @promaxmedia1 on TikTok, the friend, who wished to remain anonymous, described Kofi as a kind and gentle soul, loved by everyone who knew him.

The friend went on to explain Kofi’s connection to his famous uncle and the international entertainment scene. According to him, travelling abroad was never an issue for Kofi. Claims that restrictions on travel affected his mental state were debunked.

In fact, Kofi had been part of the entourage scheduled to accompany Daddy Lumba on a show in the US. The event, however, never took place, as the music legend passed away in July 2025. His burial in December 2025 followed a period of family disputes.

Tragically, Kofi passed away shortly after the funeral in January 2026, leaving the family heartbroken after losing two loved ones in such a short span.

The family friend emphasised that that was not related to drinking or any mental struggles, but rather a heartbreaking loss amid an already difficult period for the Fosu family.
