Fresh information from close relatives of the late Charles Kwadwo Fosu, widely known as Daddy Lumba, has unveiled surprising details about his private life following his passing on July 26, 2025.
Despite earlier claims that the legendary musician had ten children, his family has now clarified that the number stands at eleven. These children, according to them, were born to four different women during various phases of his life.
Family sources disclosed that Lumba had four children with his first partner, Akosua Serwaa, who stood by him in his early battles with illness. His most recent relationship, with a woman named Odo Broni, produced five more children. Two other children were fathered with two different women, whose identities remain undisclosed.
A close relative of Lumba’s biological father confirmed that these eleven children are the only ones the family has officially recognized and verified so far. However, they did not rule out the possibility of more children existing outside of those acknowledged.
Until now, public reports had generally listed ten children as part of the musician’s family, with some rumors suggesting there could be others. This latest statement from his inner circle now updates that count and settles ongoing speculation—for now.
The revelation has reignited public fascination with the late highlife icon’s personal affairs, which remained mostly private during his decades of fame. As preparations continue for his final rites, many are looking back not just at his musical achievements, but also at the legacy he built behind closed doors.
