Tensions around the estate of late Highlife legend Daddy Lumba have sharpened, with his elder sister taking a hard stance against any outside involvement in his properties.
Ernestina Fosu has made it clear she will oppose any move by individuals outside the immediate family to stake a claim. In a video shared online, she argued that the singer’s success was built on the backing of his siblings rather than support from outsiders.
She also reflected on the early and difficult phases of his career, insisting that it was family members who remained constant in his corner. In her view, that loyalty should naturally extend to how his estate is handled.
Ernestina further stressed that inheritance should be limited to those closest to the late musician, pointing specifically to his wives and children while dismissing claims from distant relatives or unrelated persons.
“I will never allow outsiders to take over my brother’s properties. Our mother gave birth to three of us, and no one helped Lumba except his siblings. We supported each other, so I won’t allow any outsider to take what belongs to him. If my brother is no more, he has wives and children who should inherit from him, so I won’t allow anyone else to come in and take it,” she said.
Daddy Lumba passed away on July 26, 2025, at the age of 60, ending a career that spanned more than thirty years and produced over 30 albums, firmly establishing him as one of Ghana’s most influential Highlife artists.
He was buried on December 13, 2025, at the Baba Yara Stadium following the dismissal of a court injunction that had briefly threatened to halt the funeral proceedings.
