The family of the late Ghanaian music legend Charles Kwadwo Fosuh, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, has issued a public statement addressing unauthorised actions and false information surrounding his funeral arrangements.
In a statement released by his wife, Akosua Serwah Fosuh, and his sister, Ernestina Brempomaa Fosuh, on Thursday, November 6, 2025, the family expressed concern over the conduct of Philip Kwabena Agyeman Appiah-Kubi, also known as Roman Fada.
According to the statement, Appiah-Kubi has been circulating misleading funeral invitations and spreading inaccurate details, despite ongoing private family negotiations.
“The family is working in unity and good faith to ensure that the funeral of our beloved Charles Kwadwo Fosuh (Daddy Lumba) is conducted with the dignity, respect, and love he deserves. We will not allow misinformation, opportunism, or unauthorised individuals to disrupt this process,” the family said.
The statement emphasised that Appiah-Kubi is not a member of the Fosuh family and holds no legal, moral, or traditional authority to speak on behalf of the late musician.
The family also clarified that Appiah-Kubi’s role as Daddy Lumba’s manager had been officially terminated by the musician himself before his passing.
The family warned that any further misrepresentation or interference would compel them to take legal action to protect the integrity of the funeral and estate matters. They urged the public, fans, and media houses to only rely on information released directly by the Fosuh family or their officially appointed representatives.
The warning comes after weeks of speculation and public debate over the arrangements for the funeral of Ghana’s Highlife icon. The family is seeking to handle the matter privately, ensuring that the legendary musician is laid to rest with the honour and respect his decades-long career deserves.
Daddy Lumba died on July 26, 2025. His final funeral is slated for December 6, but the date is currently being disputed in court.
