Faustina Fosu, a sister of the late highlife legend Charles Kwadwo Fosu, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, has sparked fresh online debate after making comments perceived as a jab at the family head, Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu, over the handling of the musician’s funeral arrangements.
Daddy Lumba passed away on July 26, 2025, at the age of 60 after a short illness. Reports indicate that the Aben Wo Ha hitmaker fell ill at his East Legon residence and was rushed to the Bank Hospital in Cantonments, where he later died.
Following his death, a bitter family feud erupted, centring on disagreements over who should be officially recognised as his wife and how his funeral should be organised. The dispute eventually split the family into two opposing factions.
One side was led by Daddy Lumba’s first wife, Akosua Serwaa, and his elder sister, Ernestina Fosu, also known as Akosua Brempomaa. The other faction was led by his second wife, Odo Broni, alongside the family head, Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu.
The disagreement also caused a rift between Daddy Lumba’s only two sisters, after Faustina Fosu chose to align with Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu and Odo Broni, a decision that deepened the family divide.
At the height of the feud, members of Daddy Lumba’s immediate family strongly pushed for the funeral to be held in March 2026, arguing that more time was needed for an autopsy to determine the musician’s true cause of death. Their request, however, was rejected by the family head.
Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu subsequently fixed the funeral for December 13, 2025, at the Kumasi Sports Stadium, a move that triggered a legal battle and intensified public scrutiny.
In a YouTube video shared by GH Facts Online, Faustina Fosu described the funeral arrangements as too rushed, revealing that she had privately raised concerns about the speed of the preparations.
According to her, her objections were ignored, a remark many viewers interpreted as a subtle dig at the family head. Though she did not explicitly mention names, her comments have reignited conversations about the internal tensions that plagued the family following Daddy Lumba’s death.
