Kwaisey Pee calls for unity to ensure Daddy Lumba a peaceful burial

Ghanaian highlife artiste Kwaisey Pee is urging unity within Daddy Lumba’s family to ensure the legendary musician is given a peaceful and dignified burial.

He expressed worry over the ongoing disagreements surrounding the funeral arrangements, noting that the confusion is damaging the family’s image and reflecting poorly on the entertainment industry.

Kwaisey Pee said the focus should be on honouring Daddy Lumba’s legacy, not on internal conflict. “I wish they could sit and squash all these things and make sure to put this man to rest,” he said, stressing the importance of maturity and respect during such a sensitive period.

He recommended mediation as a practical solution, suggesting the involvement of professional mediators or respected elders in the music industry to resolve the disputes.

The controversy began after Daddy Lumba’s passing on July 26, 2025. An initial burial was scheduled for December 6, but Akosua Serwaa Fosu, who claims to be the musician’s legal wife, filed an injunction to halt funeral preparations. Although the Kumasi High Court dismissed her application on the basis of Asante customary law, the legal tussle has continued.

The Manhyia Palace has since intervened, dissolved the initial funeral committee, and set a new burial date for December 13, 2025.
