We don't support what our mom is doing - Daddy Lumba’s children issue statement as they call for peace and unity

A new twist has emerged in the funeral arrangements of late Highlife icon Charles Kwadwo Fosuh, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, as his children publicly distance themselves from an ongoing court case involving their mother, Akosua Serwaa Fosuh.

In a press release dated October 15, 2025, and signed by Charlyn Fosuh on behalf of all the children of Akosua Serwaa and Daddy Lumba, the family clarified that they are not parties to the court proceedings. 

The legal action, filed by Madam Akosua Serwaa, reportedly challenges aspects of the musician’s funeral plans and seeks clarification on the organization and control of the burial ceremony.

However, the statement from the children emphasized unity and respect, insisting that they wish to focus solely on celebrating their father’s legacy rather than being drawn into disputes.

“It has come to our attention that there is an ongoing court process regarding the funeral and burial arrangements of our beloved father,” the statement read. 

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

They further stated that their only goal is to honour their father’s memory “in a dignified, respectful, and peaceful manner, befitting his remarkable life and contributions.”

In what appeared to be an appeal for calm, the family urged the public, particularly the media, to avoid sensationalizing the issue. 

“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,” the statement added.

The children also reaffirmed their collective support for one another during this period of mourning. 

“We stand together as his children from all sides of the family, united in our love and respect for our father. At this difficult time, we wish to focus solely on celebrating his legacy and ensuring a fitting farewell.”

They concluded by emphasizing the values Daddy Lumba stood for; “We believe our father deserves a farewell that reflects the peace, dignity, and unity he valued in life.”
