An elderly woman in the Ekuorna family has claimed that they have removed Abusuapanyin Kofi Owusu, commonly known as Abusuapanyin Tupac, as the family head.
It will be recalled that the elders of Parkoso gave Abusuapanyin Kofi Owusu a two-week ultimatum to appear before the chiefs.
Following another gathering of the late Ghanaian Highlife legend Daddy Lumba’s family, together with elders of Parkoso, Abusuapanyin Tupac failed to honour the initial summons before the Chiefs of Parkoso.
Mama China, in a video, who spoke on behalf of the elderly women, stated that the decision to remove Kofi Owusu as family head was not solely influenced by the controversies surrounding the burial of the late Highlife legend.
Mama China stated, “Kwadwo’s death isn’t what sparked the whole issue in the family. We had already warned him several times, but because he felt that we couldn’t do anything to him, he continued to do whatever pleased him. When Kwadwo passed on, that is when things became worse.
“From today, the position he holds as Abusuapanyin has been taken away from him. He is no longer our family head,” she said.
She further added that the removal of Abusuapanyin Tupac will not prevent him from attending gatherings.
“He is our brother, and we love him, but because of what he is doing on social media, we feel ashamed because people point fingers at us and mock us. He claims he is the family head, but if we ask him to give a brief history of the stool, he won’t be able to. Yet he stands somewhere and insults us,” she added.
In another video, some male members of the family who attended the meeting also expressed their support for the women.
“We, the men in the family, also support the women. From today, Kofi Owusu is no longer the family head because he failed to show respect to the family. The same people who made him the family head are the same people who have now removed him,” an elderly man said during the meeting with the Chiefs of Parkoso.
Earlier, Abusuapanyin Tupac, the family head of late Ghanaian Highlife legend Daddy Lumba, broke his silence following calls demanding his removal as family head.
According to Abusuapanyin Tupac, no one can remove him from his position as a family head except the Asantehene.
Speaking in an interview on Ezra TV on February 26, 2026, Abusuapanyin Tupac stated, “No one can overthrow me as a family head except Otumfuo. People don’t show respect and are just talking without understanding. Who is Mama China anyway? If a family head organises a funeral, I answer only to my family.
A post-funeral review is for us, not for bloggers or outsiders. Mama China and her group need to understand that they are not part of the Ekuona clan. Even if two Ekuona members join them, that does not make them our family,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Overlord of GaDangme has summoned the family head of the late Daddy Lumba, Abusuapanyin Kofi Owusu, commonly known as Abusuapanyin Tupac.
According to the Ga chiefs, Abusuapanyin Tupac has been summoned in connection with reports and confirmation by Lumba’s family head that the late singer was laid to rest in his private residence in East Legon.
On March 10, 2026, in a letter, the office of Gborbu Wulomo-Shitsɛ, Nungua traditional area, directed Abusuapanyin Tupac to appear before Wor Lumor Konor Nuumo Borkete Laweh Tsuru at the palace in Nungua on March 13, 2026, at 11:30 am.
