The family of late highlife legend Charles Kwadwo Fosu, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, is calling for calm as tensions between his two widows threaten to overshadow preparations for his final funeral rites. The musician, who passed away on July 26, 2025, left behind not only a rich musical legacy but also a complex family dynamic involving two wives — Akosua Serwaa and Odo Broni — both of whom bore him children.
Since his passing, supporters of the two women have clashed on social media, sparking heated debates over who should be officially recognised as Lumba’s legitimate widow. The feud escalated when associates from both camps exchanged public insults, drawing widespread attention and concern.
Family head Kofi Owusu has now stepped in, urging both women to end the public rivalry and preserve the dignity of the late icon. He emphasized that the decision regarding widow recognition will rest solely with the family elders, and not with online commentators or external factions.
The dispute has already disrupted earlier funeral observances, with reports of tension during Lumba’s one-week memorial. As the final rites approach, the family is appealing for unity and decorum, warning that continued infighting could tarnish the legacy of one of Ghana’s most beloved musicians.
For many fans, the unfolding drama is a painful contrast to the harmony and soul that defined Daddy Lumba’s music. The hope now is that his funeral will reflect the respect he earned in life — not the discord that followed his death.
