Ghanaian prophet, Nicholas Osei, well-known as Prophet Kumchacha, has called for the postponement of Daddy Lumba’s funeral for a year.
Kumchacha made the appeal during a discussion on United Showbiz on Saturday, November 16, 2025. He said the recurring controversies, especially the uproar over the alleged GH₵30,000 withdrawal by the family head, have created a chaotic environment despite the funeral being near completion.
“If not that the elders have set the funeral date to December 13, I wish the funeral could be postponed for a year. Daddy Lumba should be in the mortuary for a year so that all these shenanigans will cool down,” he said.
The outspoken prophet observed that the latest disagreement emerged just as the final steps were being wrapped up, a setback he believes has irritated supporters and intensified public criticism of the process.
Kumchacha challenged the explanation offered by Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu regarding the GH₵30,000, arguing that as the family head, he should bear the responsibility of supporting the late musician’s wives.
“We were almost done and now, the family head’s money issue popped up again. He is claiming he paid for the goat and gave both women money for upkeep. What if that money wasn’t available?
“He is the elder in the family and it’s his responsibility to cater for the wives. Where would he have gotten the money from? He said he went to get a loan; the GH₵30,000 that’s supposed to be saved could have been sent somewhere they would not touch the money,” he stated.
He added that the funeral planning has been overshadowed by repeated issues linked to the family head, a situation he believes has pushed many people away from taking part in the arrangements.
“From day one, people have been tagging him with problems. If not that the elders have confirmed the date, I really wish they could postpone the funeral. Many people have given up on the funeral already. Even though I believe people will show up for the funeral, they would show up more if there were no controversies going on,” Prophet Kumchacha further stated.
