Appietus is a Ghanaian music producer
Renowned Ghanaian music producer, Appietus, has narrated how his first encounter with the late Daddy Lumba changed his life and finally earned him the recognition he had long sought from his mother.
In an interview shared on social media on July 31, 2025, Appietus revealed that despite producing multiple hit songs in Ghana, his mother still doubted the viability of his music career.
He explained that his mother often pressured him to seek a white-collar job, even while he was working with prominent Highlife artistes like Ofori Amponsah.
“My mother used to tell me that I should go and look for work. She would be like I am disturbing her. She knew Ofori Amponsah was my friend, so anytime she sees me with him, she would be like ‘You think it’s fun going to sit on television and speak English.
“My mother didn’t believe in me at all, even when everyone was praising me,” he said.
But according to Appietus, everything changed the day Daddy Lumba visited him at home to request an instrumental.
He said his mother was excited and stunned by the legendary musician’s presence.
Appietus said from that day forward, her mother’s attitude toward his career completely shifted.
“I was there when Lumba called me to say he would come to the studios… When he came, he met my mother, so she was deliberating if that was Lumba or not until she approached him.
“That was when Lumba told her he was looking for me… That day, my mother surprised me based on the way she was behaving. The way she was claiming me as a son all of a sudden… When Lumba came to the studios, within a few minutes, my mother came in asking Lumba if he would eat fufu. She even brought in fried eggs and tea,” he added.
