Akosua Serwaa Fosuh, the first wife of Ghanaian Highlife musician Daddy Lumba, has spoken publicly for the first time following the controversy that occurred after the musician’s death.
Since Lumba’s death on July 26, 2025, a series of legal disputes has broken out over who should be recognized as his rightful widow. Akosua Serwaa filed a suit seeking a court declaration that she was the musician’s only legal spouse.
However, on Friday, November 28, 2025, the Kumasi High Court ruled that both Odo Broni, legally known as Priscilla Ofori Atta, and Akosua Serwaa Fosuh qualify as Lumba’s legitimate spouses.
The ruling followed weeks of public debate and legal confrontation over who should perform the widowhood rites, who holds authority over the late musician’s estate, and who should be acknowledged as his widow.

In its decision, the court noted that Akosua Serwaa did not provide the original documents to prove a civil marriage with Lumba. The evidence presented consisted of extracts rather than an authentic, certified marriage certificate.
Following the judgment, her lawyer, William Kusi, disclosed that his client has instructed him to file an appeal.
In a video shared online, Akosua Serwaa expressed gratitude to her supporters, saying their encouragement has strengthened her during this period.
She expressed confidence in eventually winning the case and added that she never realized how much people cared for her until this issue emerged.
