He opened up about what happened when he sent a delegation to Accra upon hearing the news of Lumba's passing.
Upon arriving, Kofi Owusu lamented that attempts to speak to Priscilla Ofori Atta failed after she insisted she did not want to talk to him.
At that point, he stated that, as a family, the only person they recognise as having been married to Daddy Lumba is Akosua Serwaa, who is currently based in Germany.
In any event, he added that the proper thing that should have been done was for a delegation to be sent to the family by Lumba’s side, informing them of the passing of their beloved.
Daddy Lumba died on Saturday, July 26, 2025, at the Bank Hospital in Accra after being rushed there for urgent treatment.
Ghanaian dignitaries and well-wishers have thronged the home of the deceased to express their condolences to his wife and family during this difficult time.

A book of condolence has been opened by the Fosu family at the private residence of the late musician.
The video had generated a lot of reactions at the time of writing the report.

Reactions to utterances by Lumba's family
YEN.com.gh sampled some comments:
@amenuvevedelalorm2412 opined:
“You will never know how important family is until someone dies. Especially in the Ashanti Kingdom. I experienced this with my mother. Even when the family does nothing for them when it comes to the funeral, forget everybody, the family takes charge.”
@Samuel-q7e stated:
“No matter how poor the family is, tradition is tradition. The wife should have looked for someone to lead her and inform Lumba Abusua Panin about his death. This is a traditional rite. In Akan tradition, Abusua Panin has the right to make decisions.”
@felicitywilson4325 added:
“Abusua Panin is not the only one who sent the family a condolence message. Ex-President Akufo-Addo and Bawumia also sent condolences to the family.”
