In a surprising announcement that has sparked widespread discussion online, the Fosu Royal Family’s legal team has officially recognized Odo Broni as a legitimate wife of the late Ghanaian music icon, Daddy Lumba, whose real name was Charles Kwadwo Fosu.
The lawyers issued a comprehensive statement to address public confusion and speculation surrounding the musician’s marital status after his passing.
They confirmed that the Fosu Royal Family fully acknowledges Odo Broni as one of Daddy Lumba’s wives, affirming her position within both the family and traditional framework.
“The Fosu Royal Family wishes to clarify that Madam Odo Broni is a recognized wife of the late Charles Kwadwo Fosu, known as Daddy Lumba,” the statement read.
“Her marriage is duly acknowledged, and she remains a vital part of his legacy.”
This revelation has shifted the narrative around Daddy Lumba’s personal life, particularly following earlier claims that Akosua Serwaa, long considered his only wife, had ended their marriage before his death.
The acknowledgment of Odo Broni’s status raises new questions about inheritance, family dynamics, and the late musician’s private life.
A Kumasi-based cultural expert noted that in Akan tradition, family recognition is key to validating a spouse’s status.
“The Fosu Royal Family’s formal acknowledgment of Odo Broni indicates her marriage adhered to customary laws, carrying significant social and legal weight,” the expert explained.
Social media has been abuzz with varied reactions from fans—some shocked, others praising the family for clarifying the matter.
Many recall Odo Broni’s appearances in Daddy Lumba’s music videos and public events, which had long fueled speculation about their relationship.
The confirmation may impact the handling of Daddy Lumba’s estate, as recognized spouses and their children may have legal inheritance rights under Ghanaian customary and statutory laws.
The family’s lawyers have called for restraint in public speculation, emphasizing that the statement aims to promote “truth and transparency” regarding the late icon.
As fans continue to honor Daddy Lumba’s profound influence on Ghanaian music, this development adds a new layer to the legacy of the artist whose heartfelt voice and lyrics touched countless lives.
