Victims of a legend: The women Daddy Lumba left behind
Daddy Lumba died on July 26, 2025 at the Bank Hospital in Accra. He was 60 years old and his family described his death as being caused by a short illness. A Celebration of the Life of Akosua Serwaa came off on Saturday, 28 March 2026 at the University of Ghana Stadium in Legon.
The event was originally announced as the Celebration of Life of Daddy Lumba, but a court injunction filed by the Ekuona Royal Family of Parkoso and Nsuta stopped any gathering in the dead musician's name.

A radio presenter on DLFM declared Odo Broni the only wife that mattered. Daddy Lumba's manager introduced Akosua Serwaa as the musician's "former wife" at a gathering of dignitaries.
