Highlife musician Kwaisey Pee has expressed disappointment over the disagreements surrounding the funeral arrangements for legendary Ghanaian singer Daddy Lumba.
Speaking in a recent Hitz FM interview, Kwaisey Pee called the disputes unfortunate, noting the late musician’s remarkable influence on the Ghanaian music scene.
“The controversies have made it difficult for industry players to know how to contribute or participate in the process.
“Sometimes you don’t even know where to contribute because you need to be careful with what to say but it’s sad. Sadly, such a great man like this is no more and these things are happening,” he averred.
Describing Daddy Lumba as Ghana’s own Michael Jackson, Kwaisey Pee appealed to all parties involved to resolve their differences and allow the music legend a dignified farewell.
“I called him our ‘Michael Jackson’. I wish they can sit and say they should squash all these things and make sure we put this man to rest. Things should be fine because it’s not good,” he said.
Kwaisey Pee also warned that the current conflicts could damage the public’s perception of Ghanaian musicians.
“It’s not showing a picture for us as musicians because people would get the wrong perceptions about artistes. They would just conclude that we live our lives anyhow so when we die it is messed up,” he noted.
He concluded by urging Daddy Lumba’s family to take charge and work toward resolving the issues.
“The family should just sit up and make sure they solve the problems,” Kwaisey Pee further stated.
