The late Ghana’s Highlife icon Daddy Lumba’s children have reacted to their mother, Akosua Serwaa, filing for a letter of administration at the Kumasi High Court.
According to Lumba’s children, in a joint statement issued on January 20, 2026, they are deeply concerned about claims that they are at loggerheads with their mother after the document circulated online.
Lumba’s children noted that the allegations claiming their mother included Charlyn Fosu’s name in the letters of administration without her knowledge are untrue.
Lumba’s children declared that they stand in solidarity with their mother, adding that any rumours suggesting that they are at odds with her should be disregarded.
In their letter, Daddy Lumba’s children stated, “We are deeply concerned by comments and insinuations suggesting that we are in conflict with our mother, that there are intentions to arrest her for speaking or writing on our behalf, or that there is tension between us as children and our mother. These claims are entirely false, malicious, and baseless”.
“Even more troubling are the unfounded accusations directed at individuals such as Kenpong, who is being unfairly portrayed as having ulterior motives simply because he has offered support to our mother and to us, her children, during this difficult period in Ghana. Such allegations are reckless, misleading, and deeply unfair. We wish to state clearly and unequivocally that our relationship with our mother is strong, loving, and respectful.”
“We therefore urge the public and all social media users to ignore these rumours and refrain from amplifying negativity. Our family is united. There is no conflict between our mother and us. Any claims to the contrary are deliberate falsehoods,” the statement added.
Their statement follows details which have emerged of the late highlife legend Daddy Lumba’s 19 properties’ value at GH₵5.43 million being contested in court by Akosua Serwaa.
Akosua Serwaa, after she arrived in Ghana, ran to the Kumasi High Court on January 14, 2026, with an application exactly one month after her late husband was laid to rest, seeking letters of administration to manage and distribute the singer’s properties.
Reports suggest Lumba’s widow, Akosua Serwaa, his elder sister, Ernestina Fosu, and his daughter, Charlyn Fosu, have jointly applied for letters of administration to manage and distribute his properties.
In response, Daddy Lumba’s second wife, Odo Broni, together with her legal team, has filed to challenge Akosua Serwaa’s application.
Odo Broni’s legal team, however, argued that Akosua Serwaa cannot consider herself the sole surviving spouse of the late Daddy Lumba.
They argued that Akosua Serwaa does not have the capacity to individually apply for letters of administration.
The Kumasi High Court, following the filing of Odo Broni’s caveat, has given Akosua Serwaa and her legal team seven days to prove their case on why they should be granted the letters of administration to manage and distribute the properties of the late legendary singer.
