Mr Dwabeng Fosu who was a close friend of Daddy Lumba for over 4 decades has opened up about the late musician’s health battle, which gradually led to his death on July 26, 2025.
In an interview with Bigscout Nana Prempeh, Mr Fosu disclosed that Daddy Lumba sustained a spinal injury in his prime but ignored it until it was a little too late.
In the course of the interiew, he noted that Daddy Lumba opted for surgery to correct the spinal injury; however, the musician’s health never returned to normalcy.
In his own words;
“He had an accident, but didn’t pay enough attention to the injury. He was young by then and was in his prime. Eventually, the effects caught up with him. He was operated upon and had his spine replaced with metal. The operation costs $40k,” Dwabeng Fosu said.
“All the medications he had to take were administered by his wife, Akosua Serwaa. If not for her, Daddy Lumba would have died a long time ago. He could not even put on a shoe. The doctor had predicted that he was going to die soon. That’s why he composed his song, Makra Mo,” Dwabeng Fosu added.
