According to Kofi Owusu, although he initially disliked the name, he later embraced it after careful consideration and encouragement from his newly self-acclaimed supporters. He further revealed that he has now established a fan base known as the “Tupac Movement.”

“We have the men, and they have done a very good job. I want to thank everyone in Kumasi and all sympathisers for their support.

“I heard that you people have changed my name from Victor Owusu to Tupac, so I am hereby changing my name from Victor Owusu to Tupac. When you see me anywhere, feel free to call me Tupac, because we now have the Tupac Movement,” he said.

Meanwhile, despite the controversies surrounding Daddy Lumba’s burial arrangements, the family successfully held the final burial on December 13, 2025.

Daddy Lumba, who passed away on July 26, 2025, at the Bank Hospital, was laid to rest on December 13, 2025, after months of family disputes and legal battles that delayed his burial.
