Ghanaian media personality Stacy Amoateng has recounted an experience from her early years when the late Daddy Lumba came to her aid, demonstrating a level of generosity she describes as immeasurable.
Speaking on the recent episode of her show that featured Daddy Lumba’s manager, Roman Fadda, Stacy said the late highlife legend’s kindness and willingness to give were his biggest traits.
She explained that his generosity often left people speechless because he gave from the heart, without being asked or pressured.

According to Stacy, there was a time when Daddy Lumba realized she had not fully furnished her home.
She said what was a lighthearted tease about her lack of furniture and a bed turned into an act of kindness that transformed her living space.
She disclosed that Daddy Lumda did not only buy furniture for her home, but went as far as providing everything she needed, even down to cutlery.

Stacy further mentioned that the Daddy Lumba used to import items from Germany and had a storeroom full of supplies, which he used to furnish her house.
The media personality also gifted her a substantial amount of money, which was considered a huge sum at the time.
“I don’t know anyone who gives like Daddy Lumba. When he decides to be generous, you’ll start wondering if he’s alright, he gives crazily when he wants to. And with him, you don’t coerce or ask; if he wants to do it, he will. He furnished every part of my house.
“I remember he once teased me that I didn’t even have furniture or a bed. It seemed like a joke, but he went ahead and gave me everything I needed, right down to cutlery. Back then, he used to import a lot from Germany and had plenty stored up. When he was done, he even gave me GH¢2,500,” she said.
