The children of the late highlife legend Charles Kwadwo Fosuh, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, have dissociated themselves from a lawsuit concerning their father’s funeral and burial arrangements.

In a statement signed by one of the children, Charlyn Fosuh, on behalf of all of Daddy Lumba’s children with Akosua Serwaa Fosuh, they indicated that they are not part of the legal battle and wish to stay out of any disputes within the family.

“It has come to our attention that there is an ongoing court process regarding the funeral and burial arrangements of our beloved father, the late Charles Kwadwo Fosuh, affectionately known as Daddy Lumba,” the statement reads.

“We, the children of Akosua Serwaa and Daddy Lumba, wish to clarify that we are not parties to this legal process and that we do not wish to be involved in any disputes or conflicts surrounding the funeral arrangements,” it further indicates.

The children said their only wish is to honour their father’s memory “in a dignified, respectful, and peaceful manner, befitting his remarkable life and contributions.”

They added that they are united in love and respect for their father, noting that their focus remains on celebrating his legacy and ensuring a fitting farewell. They also appealed to the public and media to exercise restraint in their commentary about the family and the ongoing legal proceedings.

“We kindly ask the general public, especially the media and social media commentators, to be measured and respectful in their commentary regarding the family, any ongoing legal matters, and the funeral arrangements. We believe our father deserves a farewell that reflects the peace, dignity, and unity he valued in life,” the statement said.

Background

The latest statement follows reports that Mrs Akosua Serwaa Fosuh, the widow of the late musician and her children, had filed for an injunction to stop the funeral, which was originally scheduled for 6th December 2025.

She had claimed in a press release that the nuclear family was not contacted in the funeral arrangements.

In a related development, Mrs Fosuh and the singer’s elder sister, Ms Ernestina Fosuh, have also jointly issued a separate press release calling for an independent investigation into the circumstances surrounding Daddy Lumba’s death. They alleged that there were conflicting accounts of how he died in Ghana on 26th July 2025 and appealed to both Ghanaian and German authorities to intervene.

The family’s internal disagreements appear to have deepened in the wake of the injunction and the demand for an international probe.

The children, however, have made it clear that they wish to remain united and focused on honouring their father’s legacy, rather than engaging in further disputes.

Daddy Lumba, 60, was a celebrated Ghanaian highlife icon whose music shaped generations. His passing in July 2025 shocked fans in Ghana and abroad, sparking nationwide tributes to his decades-long contribution to Ghanaian music.
