Akosua Serwaa, the first wife of Daddy Lumba, spoke for the first time since her husband’s death. In a video circulating on social media on September 2, 2025, she expressed her heartfelt gratitude to Ghanaians for their immense support to her family during these difficult times. Serwaa, who had flown into Ghana from Germany for her husband’s funeral preparations, took a moment to interact with the public. She said, mixing English and Dutch: “Hi Ghanaians, my friends and my country. I thank you all very much for your love, support, and above all, for your contribution during these hard times. Thank you.”
Her statement came shortly after the one-week observation of Daddy Lumba held at Black Star Square on August 30, 2025, which was attended by notable personalities including former President Nana Akufo-Addo, Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia, and key entertainment figures.
Daddy Lumba, a highlife music legend, passed away on July 26, 2025, at The Bank Hospital in Accra after a brief illness. He is celebrated for his timeless hits and regarded as one of Ghana’s greatest musicians.
