Charlyn Fosu, the daughter of late Daddy Lumba, has filed a misjoinder at the Kumasi High Court seeking the court to remove her name from the letters of administration filed by her mother, Akosua Serwaa and Ernestina Fosu.

According to Charlyn Fosu, lawyer, Enoch Afoakwa, the Kumasi High Court had ruled in his client’s favour.

Speaking to the media after court proceedings, he revealed the court granted the application and ordered that his client’s name be struck out of the letters of administration.

Lawyer Enoch Afoakwa stated, “We are here because Lumba’s wife, Akosua Serwaa, and his sister, Ernestina Fosu, filed letters of administration to manage the musician’s estate, and in that document, they included Charlyn Fosu’s name.

“But Charlyn Fosu, together with the other 10 children, did not agree to apply for letters of administration. Per their decision, even if any child is to be included, they support Calvin Fosu as the appropriate person to do so,” he said.

“She wished the controversies had died down so the family could appreciate the legacy their father left behind before his demise. She added that if the children are to appoint someone to lead the legal process, it should be the male-born,” he added.

The lawyer further disclosed that Lumba’s children desire peace.

He added, “She wished the controversies had died down so the family could appreciate the legacy their father left behind before his demise. She added that if the children are to appoint someone to lead the legal process, it should be the male-born”.

Earlier, Daddy Lumba’s children had 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.

Meanwhile, Lumba’s widow, Akosua Serwaa, and his elder sister, Ernestina 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.
