Dada KD Family drops bombshell -Daddy Lumba introduced his girlfriend as his sister to Dada KD

The death of Ghanaian highlife performer Dada KD (born Dada Kwakye Duah) has taken a tragic and painful turn as family members and close acquaintances begin to speak out. What many expected to be a calm period of grief has devolved into a slew of accusations, audio leaks, and animosity between some of Ghana's most recognized highlife figures.

Dada KD died on Friday, May 16, 2025, at the age of 56, following a brief illness. Since his death, not only have condolences come in, but so have a series of contentious audio recordings and statements aimed at Daddy Lumba, one of Ghana's most recognized singers.

Dada KD's family has publicly spoken out with a forceful message, and they are not backing down. They allege that Daddy Lumba had a bad impact on Dada KD's life, including his love life and music career.

According to the family, Daddy Lumba introduced his girlfriend as Dada KD's sister. As a result, Dada KD, who was unaware of their genuine romantic relationship, fell in love with her, began dating her, and even had children with her. The family claims that Dada KD did not betray Lumba on purpose because he was unaware of the complete story.

How can you blame someone for dating a woman he was told was his sister? One family member was cited as stating. "If Lumba had been honest, none of this would have happened."

They claim that this uncertainty resulted in a lasting schism between the two musicians, and audio records presently circulating on social media appear to back this up.

Leaked audio: Dada KD speaks from the grave.

Following Dada KD's death, certain audio recordings have gone viral. In one of them, the late artist is heard discussing how his relationship with Daddy Lumba deteriorated following the woman incident.

He plainly states that their friendship ended because he unintentionally took Lumba's girlfriend, not out of malice, but because he was misled into believing she was just a sister. He describes how Lumba isolated himself and got furious after finding out.

The most distressing part of the tape is when Dada KD laments that his relationship with Lumba has never repaired. Some admirers who have listened to the recording say they can hear the pain in his voice, which is what has drawn so much attention to the situation right now.

Did Daddy Lumba sabotage Dada KD's musical career?

Aside from the woman issue, Dada KD's family has accused Daddy Lumba of intentionally harming his music career. According to them, some tracks that Dada KD had hoped would become hits failed unexpectedly. The family believes that Lumba used his industry connections to stifle Dada KD's success.

"Several of his best tracks were never marketed. They did not receive airplay. "It's as if someone was pulling strings behind the scenes," the family explained.

Though they admit they cannot directly blame Daddy Lumba for Dada KD's death, they maintain that his affiliation with him was detrimental, both emotionally and professionally.

"We're not alleging Lumba killed our brother. No. But we claim he did not treat him nicely. He did not assist him. "He did not show him love," a family spokesperson said.

Lumba is called out as a cheat.

Dada KD's family has accused Daddy Lumba of cheating, not only in friendship but also in the music business. They claim he has a tendency of taking advantage of fellow musicians, identifying Great Ampong as another individual who has supposedly suffered at Lumba's hands.

Music fans may recall the Lumba-Ampong feud, in which Great Ampong accused Daddy Lumba of defrauding him out of money from their collaborative record "Hosanna." That matter was never properly handled in public, but Dada KD's family is now bringing it back to the forefront as part of a pattern.

"It isn't the first time. Great Ampong has his own story. "So we know what we're talking about," the family said.

Ghanaians React: Shock, Pain, and Division.

The news of these allegations has divided views across the country. While many are surprised that these details are being revealed only after Dada KD's death, others believe that the truth must be spoken, even if it is difficult.

Some individuals have flocked to social media to support Daddy Lumba, stating that we shouldn't pass judgment until we hear his side of the story. Others are calling on Lumba to come forward and clear his name.

"We need to hear from Lumba, too. Allow him to tell his own truth. "The man is still alive," one Facebook user wrote.

Some believe the family is disrespecting the deceased by turning a period of mourning into one of allegations and auditory drama.

What happens now?

So yet, Daddy Lumba has not officially addressed the charges. His camp has likewise been mute on the matter. However, industry sources believe he may eventually be forced to come out due to the level of public interest in the situation.

Some are also appealing for peace and decency, urging both sides to honor the dead and work on healing rather than ripping each other apart.

"Let us not forget Dada KD, a Ghanaian music superstar. "Let us honor him with dignity," legendary producer Fredyma remarked in a radio interview.
