Trouble for TikToker as Daddy Lumba’s Widow Drags Him to Court Over What He Said About Her

A fresh legal battle has emerged surrounding the family of late Ghanaian music legend Daddy Lumba, as his widow, Akosua Serwah Fosuh, has reportedly taken a TikToker to court over claims that she bewitched her late husband.

The development has attracted attention because it involves one of Ghana’s most celebrated musicians and allegations that touch on deeply held cultural and personal beliefs. What began as claims circulating on social media has now reportedly moved into the courtroom, raising questions about the limits of online speech and the responsibility that comes with making serious accusations against another person.

According to a report published by GhanaWeb on Friday, October 30, 2026, Akosua Serwah Fosuh has taken legal action against a TikToker who allegedly made claims that she used witchcraft against her late husband.

The allegation is particularly sensitive because Daddy Lumba’s death has left many fans and followers still remembering his contribution to Ghanaian music. The musician built a strong name through his songs and remained an important figure in the country’s entertainment industry.

Since his passing, public interest in matters surrounding his family has remained high. His widow has also found herself at the centre of public discussions, with social media becoming one of the places where people share opinions about issues involving the late musician and his family.

However, accusing someone of causing another person’s death through witchcraft is a serious matter. Such claims can damage a person’s reputation, cause emotional distress and expose them to public attacks, especially when they spread across platforms with large audiences.

The reported court action therefore brings an important issue into focus: should social media users be free to make such claims about other people without facing legal consequences?

TikTok and other social media platforms have become popular places for discussions about celebrities, public figures and family matters. While people have the right to express their opinions, that freedom does not necessarily give anyone the right to make harmful and unproven accusations.

The case could also serve as a warning to content creators who sometimes make controversial statements to attract attention and increase engagement.

For now, the full details of the legal complaint, the TikToker’s response and the specific court orders being sought have not been provided in the available GhanaWeb report.

As the matter develops, many Ghanaians will be watching to see how the court handles the dispute.
