Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie has reacted with deep sadness to the passing of highlife legend Daddy Lumba, expressing how difficult it’s been to process the loss.
In an emotional post shared shortly after news broke of Daddy Lumba’s death on Saturday, July 26, 2025, Sarkodie admitted he was struggling to find the right words.
“Only if I had the words to express how I’ve been feeling since early this morning but I don’t…”
The rapper, who has long acknowledged Daddy Lumba as a musical inspiration, said it’s tough to even think about losing someone so close to the heart.
“We will all go back to the maker one day but sometimes it’s hard to even entertain the thought when it involves people close to your heart.”
Sarkodie thanked the late legend for the impact he made on Ghanaian music and the lives he touched through his songs.
“RIP DL!!! Thanks for all you’ve done for us… The legacy lives on…”
He ended his tribute with a message of support to the grieving family:
“Condolences to the family. I pray for strength.”
