Controversial Fee for Mourners at Daddy Lumba’s Funeral

Controversial Fee for Mourners at Daddy Lumba’s Funeral

Following the tragic passing of legendary Ghanaian highlife musician Charles Kwadwo Fosu, widely known as Daddy Lumba, the entertainment industry has been flooded with tributes and funeral-related suggestions. Among the more controversial of these is a proposal by Adom FM presenter Mike Two, which has sparked significant online debate.

On July 30, 2025, just four days after the music icon’s death, Mike Two took to Facebook to offer what he called a practical solution to manage the expected throngs of mourners. He suggested that attendees should be required to pay a fee to view the late star’s body during the funeral proceedings. According to him, this would not only help control crowd size but could also serve as a way to raise funds—possibly in honor of the late singer’s legacy.

Reactions to his proposal have been polarizing. While some followers of his post acknowledged the logic behind using such a method for crowd control and fundraising, others saw it as distasteful and insensitive during a period of national mourning.

The conversation adds to the many public responses following Daddy Lumba’s death on July 26, 2025, at The Bank Hospital in Cantonments, Accra. The 60-year-old passed away after a brief illness, leaving behind a legacy as one of Ghana’s most iconic and influential musicians.

As plans for his final rites continue, Mike Two’s suggestion has opened up broader discussions about how best to honor cultural icons—and where to draw the line between practicality and respect.
