‘People think we are biological brothers or twins’ – Nana Acheampong on resemblance with Daddy Lumba

Apart from Daddy Lumba and Nana Acheampong’s 'perceived' music feud, the next obvious thing that is mostly being spoken about is their striking resemblance.

Although these two highlife music giants have been portrayed as rivals, there are more similarities than disparities between them.

However, addressing these topics, Nana Acheampong said, that what fans do not know is that they relate as brothers.

In an interview with GHPage TV, the Ghanaian highlife music legend said that although he and Daddy Lumba aren’t related by blood, they mostly find themselves doing the same things.

Nana Acheampong said, from their physical appearance to their music style, they possess many similarities that he cannot comprehend.

The ‘Nanka ebeye den’ hitmaker said it is to the extent that he has been bugged with questions about whether they are blood brothers or even twins.

“For the resemblance, people talk about it a lot. I get a lot of comments about it and he does experience the same. People actually think we are blood brothers or twins.

"We find ourselves doing the same things even if we are out of each other’s sight. For instance, when I made my hairstyle, I didn’t even know he had done the same thing. Look at my face, my hair, and look at his,” he stated.

Nana Acheampong also recounted an interesting instance when Daddy Lumba’s mother once mistook him for her son.

“I remember I had this outfit that I didn’t know he also had. There was an instance where I went to visit Lumba’s mother one day and she thought it was her son. She said, ‘Kwadwo, why didn’t you tell me before coming,” he recalled.

Tackling claims of ‘rivalry’ between them he said,

“There is no bad blood between my brother Lumba and me. We never said we were fighting and informed you to also fight. You were the ones who made up your minds to fight because you thought we were fighting. I think people didn’t understand why we had to split up.

"They thought we had a fight and fell apart; they didn’t know we had an amicable decision to be solo artistes. Nobody even took a step to ask us why we decided to split, they just perceived that we fought.”
