Amid rising confusion over the handling of Daddy Lumba’s funeral arrangements, the Manhyia Palace has formally distanced itself from every dispute tied to the late musician’s funeral.
A disclaimer released through Opemsuo Radio on December 11, 2025, urged the public to ignore attempts to link the Palace to the tensions within the Fosu family. The statement directly referenced ongoing friction involving Abusuapanyin Kofi Owusu, Ernestina Fosua, and the spouses of the Highlife legend.
The Palace stressed that it is not involved in any stage of the funeral planning.
“Manhyia urges the general public to disregard any reports attempting to associate the Palace with matters concerning the preparations for the burial and funeral rites of Mr. Charles Kwadwo Fosu, popularly known as Daddy Lumba,” the disclaimer read.

Its announcement comes at a time when the late musician’s relatives are locked in a series of highly publicised disputes. Arguments over autopsy results, the timing of the burial, the wives’ roles in widowhood rites, and related arrangements have sparked significant discussion both offline and across social platforms.
Aside from the courtroom battles, some family members also escalated the matter by taking it before the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, especially after Ernestina Fosu invoked Otumfuo’s Ntam Kese.
With these issues still unsettled, many observers remain unsure whether the planned funeral on Saturday, December 13, 2025, will take place as announced or be pushed to a later date.
