A Ghanaian preacher identified as Apostle Bright has ignited intense public debate after sharing what he describes as a spiritual vision involving the late highlife legend Charles Kwadwo Fosu, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, barely a week after the musician’s burial.
Daddy Lumba was laid to rest on December 13, 2025, at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi, in a funeral ceremony attended by thousands of fans, family members, and industry players.
While preaching in a sermon shared on TikTok, Apostle Bright claimed that God revealed to him the spiritual condition of the late musician through a vision.
According to the preacher, the vision occurred while he was asleep.
He alleged that Daddy Lumba appeared dressed in dark clothing, with his head bowed and looking deeply troubled. Apostle Bright further claimed that the musician’s eyes were red, which he interpreted as a sign that the late legend had been crying for a long time. He added that Daddy Lumba’s clothes appeared damp, suggesting intense emotional distress.
Apostle Bright explained that the vision carried what he described as a strong warning about heaven, hell, and judgment after death.
He cautioned against teachings that suggest there is no divine judgment after death, describing such beliefs as misleading.
In a controversial extension of his message, the preacher warned that people who continue to listen to Daddy Lumba’s secular songs may be putting themselves at spiritual risk.
He urged the public to prioritise gospel music, which he described as safer for the soul.
The claims have generated mixed reactions on social media. Some users expressed fear and called for self-reflection, saying the message should prompt people to examine their spiritual lives.
Others, however, strongly questioned the legitimacy of the vision, warning the public against accepting spiritual claims at face value. Critics argued that such messages could unfairly tarnish the legacy of the late musician and cause unnecessary fear among fans.
