Talented Ghanaian songstress Shatana. who is also the sister of the late music icon Terry Bonchaka.has waded into the ongoing public debate surrounding the marital issues of legendary Highlife musician Daddy Lumba.
The controversy centres on Lumba’s Germany–based legal wife, Akosua Serwaa and a woman popularly known as Odo Broni, who has been described by many as a “side chick.
In a strongly worded message shared via a video on social media, Shatana declared her firm support for Akosua Serwaa, insisting that she is the only legitimate wife of Daddy Lumba.
According to her, any attempt by the courts to recognize Odo Broni over the legal wife will amount to what she described as *“a scam by the judiciary.”
She argued that the judiciary risks losing credibility if they hand a ruling that favours the side chick in a matter that she believes is straightforward.
“If the court rules in favour of Odo Broni, then it means they are empowering side chicks over legal wives. And trust me, legal wives across the country will demonstrate because this will be a dangerous precedent,” Shatana cautioned.
Shatana further emphasized that supporting a legally married spouse is crucial in maintaining social and moral order.
She noted that rewarding a side chick with recognition or authority equal to that of a wife would be “unacceptable” and a direct attack on the dignity of marriage.
She urged the public and women’s groups to stand with Akosua Serwaa, insisting that justice must protect the sanctity of marriage and not “legitimize immorality.”
