Prophet Nicholas Osei, popularly known as Kumchacha, has expressed deep concern over the controversies surrounding the upcoming funeral of highlife legend Daddy Lumba, suggesting that the ceremony should be postponed for a full year to allow tensions within the family to subside.
Kumchacha said the ongoing disputes have overshadowed preparations and created unnecessary turmoil.
“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 stated on United Showbiz.
The prophet lamented the renewed confusion over financial matters involving the family head, which he said resurfaced after most arrangements had already been finalised.
“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 questioned.

Kumchacha argued that as the leader of the family, the head should naturally assume such responsibilities without causing disruption.
“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 added.
According to him, the late musician has been unfairly associated with problems even in death, and the current chaos is discouraging many supporters who initially intended to attend the funeral.
“From day 1, 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,” Kumchacha said.
