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’s coffin was not his.

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.

“He’s 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’s not true,” she said.

Faustina Fosu explained that certain decisions taken during the funeral arrangements were in line with the late Daddy Lumba’s wishes before his death.

“Daddy Lumba said it before he died that we shouldn’t reveal his face and he also didn’t want us to lay him in public,” she disclosed.

According to her, despite the musician’s instructions, the family decided to allow a public laying-in-state due to the spread of false narratives.

“People know how to fabricate lies, that’s why we decided to lay him in public so we covered his face was just to honor his wish,” she added.
