The children of the late Highlife legend Charles Kwadwo Fosuh, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, have issued a statement distancing themselves from the ongoing court case surrounding their father’s funeral and burial arrangements.
In a press release dated October 15, 2025, and signed by Charlyn Fosuh on behalf of the children of Akosua Serwaa Fosuh and Daddy Lumba, the family clarified that they are “not parties to this legal process” and “do not wish to be involved in any disputes or conflicts”* related to the funeral.
“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 began.
“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,” the family said.
“Our only desire is to honour our father’s memory in a dignified, respectful, and peaceful manner, befitting his remarkable life and contributions.”
The family also appealed to the public and media to avoid fueling tension, urging everyone to remain measured and respectful in their commentary.
“We believe our father deserves a farewell that reflects the peace, dignity, and unity he valued in life,” the statement added.
The clarification comes amid a lawsuit reportedly filed by Akosua Serwaa Fosuh, the late musician’s first wife, who is challenging aspects of the funeral and burial plans.
According to reports, the suit seeks to ensure proper recognition of her role and that of her children in the final rites of the Highlife legend.
