Late Ghanaian musician, Charles Kwadwo Fosuh, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, has left music lovers dumbfounded.
His official Facebook, in a statement, confirmed his sudden demise on Saturday, July 26, 2025.
Without a doubt, Daddy Lumba contributed significantly to the music space by grooming talents and performing for high-ranking personalities in and out of Ghana.
Before his sudden demise, Lumba staged his last iconic “Valentine with Daddy Lumba” concert, which took place on February 15, 2025, barely 5 months ago.
His concert was staged at the Grand Arena, Accra.
Daddy Lumba made a grand entry with his “Gold Digger,” a song that he composed over a decade ago, but became a hit in early 2025 due to social media.
He switched to his “Se Sumye Kasa A” classic song as fans cheered him on while others sprayed him with money.
Halfway through Lumba’s performance, the iconic musician paused his concert and praised his fans for their support, adding that performing on Valentine’s Day was his first time after years in the music industry.
“I wish you all a Happy Valentine’s Day. I am very happy because I have not performed on Val’s Day before. I was reluctant to perform when Maame Serwaa brought the idea,” he said.
After his speech, the late veteran invited Sarkodie on stage.
Sarkodie, who was overwhelmed with excitement, knelt before the highlife legend as a sign of respect.
The two later performed their timeless ‘Anadwo Yi Dei’, the track on which Sarkodie was featured.
The night was filled with nostalgic performances, with other musicians like Ofori Amponsah, KK Fosu, Kofi Nti, Kofi Kinaata, and Adina also making appearances to join in the celebration.
The late Daddy Lumba, known for his classic hits such as Aben Wo Ha, Sika Asem, Theresa, Anidaso, and Ohia Asomdwe, will continue to be a key figure in Ghana’s music scene after his death.
