Controversy over comment about Daddy Lumba’s wives

Late highlife great Daddy Lumba was succeeded by two wives at the time of his death.

He met his first wife, Akosua Serwaa, in Germany in the 1980s when he was starting as a highlife musician with Nana Acheampong.

She was reportedly highly influential in the musician’s career, as she has been credited with financing his first album.

It’s unclear when Daddy Lumba married his second wife, Priscilla Ofori-Atta, popularly known as Odo Broni.

According to reports, she was a nurse who had cared for him when he was bedridden after undergoing spinal surgery.

Akosua Serwaa was in Germany with the musician’s children, with some claiming they had divorced, and he took Odo Broni as his second wife.
