I knew he had diabetes, but it wasn\u2019t the deadly type. So, what happened that he degenerated to that level?\u2026 Whenever I go and ask what killed my brother, they won\u2019t answer; all they care about is money,\u201d she lamented.<\/p>\n<p>She criticised the funeral committee of what she described as a \u201cmoney-driven\u201d agenda, saying they were using the services and arrangements around the late musician more as a source of benefit than as a tribute. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople are squabbling over my brother\u2019s money and property without even knowing how he died,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Brimpomaa also called for an autopsy report and a more open process. <\/p>\n<p>She warned that unless the truth is uncovered and shared, the disputes over wealth and assets would continue to overshadow her brother\u2019s legacies.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ghanaweb.com\/GhanaHomePage\/entertainment\/Odo-Broni-could-face-bigamy-charges-if-evidence-proves-she-married-Lumba-Lawyer-2005459\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Odo Broni could face bigamy charges if evidence proves she married Lumba &#8211; Lawyer<\/a><\/p>\n<p>What happened?<\/p>\n<p>In a formal statement dated October 13, 2025, his widow, Akosua\u202fSerwah\u202fFosuh, and his elder sister, Ernestina\u202fFosuh, said they had grown \u201cdeeply concerned\u201d by \u201cconflicting accounts\u201d of how the 60-year-old musician died on July 26, 2025.<\/p>\n<p>The family claims they have yet to see a full autopsy report and are asking for a transparent, independent investigation involving Ghanaian and German authorities.<\/p>\n<p>Adding to the tension is a dispute over funeral arrangements and estate management. The widow and elder sister say the funeral committee is driven by financial motives rather than respect for the late artiste\u2019s legacy. <\/p>\n<p>They claim they were not properly consulted, and that disagreements around his properties and monies are overshadowing questions about how he died.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ghanaweb.com\/GhanaHomePage\/people\/person.php?ID=1257\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><\/a><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ghanaweb.com\/GhanaHomePage\/people\/person.php?ID=1257\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><\/a><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ghanaweb.com\/GhanaHomePage\/people\/person.php?ID=1257\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Daddy Lumba<\/a> was born on September 29, 1964, in the Ashanti Region of Ghana and passed away on July 26, 2025.
