“Daddy Lumba’s family head ‘slapped’ for causing funeral dispute

William Kusi, the lawyer representing Akosua Serwaa, the legally married wife of the late highlife legend Daddy Lumba, has blamed the musician’s family head for the ongoing legal battle surrounding his funeral arrangements.

Speaking to the media after a court session on Thursday, October 16, 2025, Kusi explained that the misunderstanding and subsequent court action stem from the actions and attitude of the family head. The hearing for the injunction application on Daddy Lumba’s funeral was adjourned to October 28.

In a video shared on X, the lawyer said much of the misinformation and propaganda that began after the musician’s death is now being exposed. According to him, the truth is gradually coming to light, and those who spread false stories are beginning to withdraw.

“Those who started propaganda are now coiling because the truth is coming out. The unfortunate thing is that there are new developments which are not in the public. But we will ensure the right thing is done,” Kusi stated.

When asked about how his client is coping with the ongoing drama, Kusi said Akosua Serwaa is deeply disappointed by the developments and had hoped matters would not escalate to this point. However, he explained that the behavior of the family head left her with no other option but to seek legal redress.

“In all this she is disappointed. She wished it never happened. Unfortunately, the posture of the family head is the cause of the problem. If letters are written to you denying you of your rights as a wife, I’m sure that you can’t just sleep and let it pass by. So that is the originating factor of all this,” he said.

The legal dispute has attracted widespread public attention, with many closely following the case to see how it will affect plans for Daddy Lumba’s funeral and the recognition of his legitimate wife under traditional and legal standards…CONTINUE MORE READING>>>
