According to her, they loved each other dearly and supported themselves while in school. Mariama wept as she recounted how she had no option but to part ways with Daddy Lumba after they completed their studies at the school.
She also noted that the late musician asked her to leave her photo with him and his with her, so that they could remember each other. However, they did not meet each other until later in their lives, when all of them had moved on.

Right emotions, wrong timing
Speaking exclusively to YEN.com.gh, a Ghanaian counsellor, Seyram Avortri, expressed his views on Mariama's action.
"As a counsellor, I believe Mariama's decision to speak about her past relationship with Daddy Lumba shortly after his passing may have been personally meaningful, but it would have been more respectful and healing to wait until the family and fans had space to grieve," he said.
