The camp of Daddy Lumba says an official statement will be released soon
On Saturday, July 26, 2025, rumours popped up on social media that legendary Highlife artiste, Daddy Lumba, had passed away.
Various blogs and accounts spread the news accompanied with pictures and songs from the Highlife maestro.
However, there has not been any official confirmation from any public figure or personality close to Daddy Lumba.
Soon enough, counter reports from other blogs and news portals claimed that Daddy Lumba is actually alive and kicking.
These blogs claimed to have direct confirmation from the family and asked for such rumours about his death to be quelled.
GhanaWeb then decided to find out things for itself. From the findings, a source close to the family confirmed that Daddy Lumba is well.
“Again, I’m told Daddy Lumba is alive and healthy. Family is surprised by the death rumors,” a close source said to GhanaWeb.
More calls were made and another source working at Daddy Lumba FM, a media platform owned by the legend Daddy Lumba, claimed that an initial inquiry confirmed that “everything is positive.”
However, upon further probing, the source went back for more information.
A few minutes later, the source came with new information that the family of Daddy Lumba will come out with an official statement soon to confirm or deny the rumors.
As it stands, conflicting reports are all round, but sources close to the family indicate that things are “positive.”
Fans, friends and the nation at hand await the official statement from the camp of Daddy Lumba.
But this is not the first time the award-winning star has found himself as the subject of death rumours.
In 2015, similar news broke out, with Daddy Lumba coming out to debunk it himself, expressing his anger at such news.
In 2020, another series of rumours popped up, with a similar reaction.
Another five years later and fresh rumors are in, leaving Ghanaians hopeful that they are debunked again.
GhanaWeb is following the news closely and will update you with any new information.
