\"Faustina Faustina Fosu is the late Daddy Lumba’s sister<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Faustina Fosu, a family member of the late highlife legend Daddy Lumba, has dismissed claims circulating on social media that the body laid in the musician\u2019s coffin was not his.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the media on December 14, 2025, she described the allegations as false and misleading, stressing that she personally saw the late musician and confirmed his identity.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s the one and he was looking good when I saw him. People were alleging it was a toy that was in the coffin but it\u2019s not true,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

‘He has taken all my happiness away’ \u2013 Daddy Lumba’s sister cries<\/p>\n

Faustina Fosu explained that certain decisions taken during the funeral arrangements were in line with the late Daddy Lumba\u2019s wishes before his death.<\/p>\n

\u201cDaddy Lumba said it before he died that we shouldn\u2019t reveal his face and he also didn\u2019t want us to lay him in public,\u201d she disclosed.<\/p>\n

According to her, despite the musician\u2019s instructions, the family decided to allow a public laying-in-state due to the spread of false narratives.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople know how to fabricate lies, that\u2019s why we decided to lay him in public so we covered his face was just to honor his wish,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
