The extended family of the late highlife legend, Charles Kwadwo Fosuh, popularly called Daddy Lumba, discussed the removal of the family head, Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu, also known as Abusuapanin Tupac, over his conduct before, during and after the musician's burial.
Daddy Lumba's extended family held a meeting at his hometown in Parkoso, in the Ashanti Region, on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, to discuss Abusuapanin's removal.

It was business unusual at a family gathering when a woman, flanked by some fellow female relatives, outlined some of the reasons they wanted him removed and demanded he be relieved of his duties as family head.
It is instructive to note that the elderly women bear the mandate of appointing the family head.
However, after the family held discussions, they agreed to give him a two-week ultimatum to appear before the family to answer questions on Daddy Lumba's funeral and burial.
In a video on X, a female family member mentioned some of the accusations levelled against Abusuapanin Tupac.
"He has disgraced us. Recently, he insulted the entire family on social media. He told us how poor we are. However, if the Abusuapanin has money, we expect him to support family members who are struggling financially. He has brought separations instead of unity to the family. He has committed several offences. Since he became Abusuapanin, he has never come to give our ancestors a drink. Is this a good Abusuapanin? We thought he would emulate his brother, whom he succeeded, but that has not been the case."

"This meeting was supposed to be a moment of unity, but it turned into the opposite. It makes you realise that belonging to a supportive, healthy family is a true blessing, and if you don't have that, these gatherings are just painful."
