Fresh revelations surrounding the private life of late Highlife legend Daddy Lumba have emerged, suggesting there was growing tension between him and his partner, Priscilla Ofori Atta, popularly known as Odo Broni, before his passing.
According to Nana Kwasi Sarfo, also known as Jigga, a close family associate who represents the musician’s surviving siblings; Ernestina Fosuh and Faustina Fosuh, Daddy Lumba allegedly sacked Odo Broni from their home just weeks before his death.
Speaking in an interview with ZionFelix, Nana Sarfo revealed that despite the family’s recognition of Odo Broni as Lumba’s partner, the musician never officially married her.
He explained that even the family head, Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu, had previously disclosed that Odo Broni herself admitted she was not legally married to the late singer.
“Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu told me that Odo Broni herself confessed that Lumba never married her,” Nana Sarfo stated.
The family representative further alleged that, contrary to public perception, Lumba and Odo Broni’s relationship was far from the ideal love story portrayed in the media.
“Those who are saying Akosua Serwaa has divorced, ask where the woman who was living with the man is. If she was not sacked from the house, why did she have to beg through some respected people before being allowed back?” he questioned.
Nana Sarfo recounted that Odo Broni was kicked out of Lumba’s home following a dispute, but prominent figures later intervened to reconcile the two.
He added that the legendary musician only allowed her back into the house two weeks before his passing.
The revelation has added a new twist to the ongoing controversy surrounding Daddy Lumba’s personal life, particularly amid the legal battles between his first wife, Akosua Serwaa, and the family over funeral arrangements and marital claims.
As of now, neither Odo Broni nor Daddy Lumba’s family head has publicly responded to Nana Sarfo’s assertions.
