The children of late highlife icon Charles Kwadwo Fosuh, better known by his stage name Daddy Lumba, have distanced themselves from a lawsuit about the funeral and burial plans for their father.
In a statement signed by one of the children, Charlyn Fosuh, on behalf of all of Daddy Lumba’s children with Akosua Serwaa Fosuh, they indicated that they are not part of the legal battle and wish to stay out of any disputes within the family.
“It has come to our attention that there is an ongoing court process regarding the funeral and burial arrangements of our beloved father, the late Charles Kwadwo Fosuh, affectionately known as Daddy Lumba,” the statement reads.
“We, the children of Akosua Serwaa and Daddy Lumba, wish to clarify that we are not parties to this legal process and that we do not wish to be involved in any disputes or conflicts surrounding the funeral arrangements,” Calvin, Charlyn and Ciara Fosuh indicated.
The children said their only wish is to honour their father’s memory “in a dignified, respectful, and peaceful manner, befitting his remarkable life and contributions.”
They added that they are united in love and respect for their father, noting that their focus remains on celebrating his legacy and ensuring a fitting farewell.
They also appealed to the public and media to exercise restraint in their commentary about the family and the ongoing legal proceedings.
“We kindly ask the general public, especially the media and social media commentators, to be measured and respectful in their commentary regarding the family, any ongoing legal matters, and the funeral arrangements. We believe our father deserves a farewell that reflects the peace, dignity, and unity he valued in life,” the statement said.
