'I told Abusuapanyin the funeral was too rushed' - Faustina Fosu speaks

Faustina Fosu, sister of the late highlife icon Charles Kwadwo Fosu, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, has stirred fresh debate online after spewing some comments widely interpreted as criticism of Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu regarding the musician’s funeral.

It will be recalled that at the height of the dispute that surrounded the death and burial of Daddy Lumba, members of the immediate family insisted the funeral be held in March 2026, citing the need for more time to complete an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death.

Their request was subsequently rejected by the family head, who fixed the funeral for December 13, 2025, at the Kumasi Sports Stadium, a decision that sparked a legal battle and heightened public scrutiny.

Speaking on this development in an interview with GH Facts Online, Faustina Fosu described the funeral arrangements as “too rushed,” revealing that she had privately expressed concerns about the speed of preparations.

She noted that her objections were ignored, and rather many interpreted her comments as a subtle jab at the Abusuapanin.

Though she avoided mentioning names directly, her remarks have reignited public conversations about the existing internal tensions that overshadowed the family in the aftermath of Daddy Lumba’s passing.

Daddy Lumba passed away on July 26, 2025, at age 60 following a brief illness. Reports indicate that the ‘Aben Wo Ha’ hitmaker fell ill at his East Legon residence and was rushed to the Bank Hospital in Cantonments, where he later died.

His death immediately triggered a bitter family feud, centred on disputes over who should be officially recognized as his wife and how the funeral should be organized.

The conflict split the family into two factions: one led by his first wife, Akosua Serwaa, and elder sister Ernestina Fosu (Akosua Brempomaa), and the other led by his second wife, Odo Broni, alongside Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu.

The feud also deepened divisions between Daddy Lumba’s two sisters after Faustina aligned herself with Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu and Odo Broni, a move that widened the rift with Ernestina.
