Akosua Serwaa Sues Abusuapanin Tupac, Sir Alex Over Daddy Lumba Marriage Claims

Akosua Serwaa, widow of late highlife legend Charles Kwadwo Fosu, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, has commenced legal action against Victor Kofi Owusu, also known as Abusuapanin Tupac, and Alex Kofi Boadi Ampong, popularly known as Sir Alex, over alleged defamatory statements concerning her marriage to the late musician.

The suit, filed at the Kumasi High Court, revolves around claims challenging the authenticity of a German marriage certificate presented by Akosua Serwaa and allegations that she was not legally married to Daddy Lumba.

According to the statement of claim, Akosua Serwaa wants the court to declare the alleged statements false and defamatory. She is also asking for an order preventing the defendants from repeating or publishing similar claims in the future.

She is further seeking an order directing the defendants to publicly retract the statements and issue an unqualified apology. In addition, she is demanding GH¢3 million in general and aggravated damages, or another amount the court may determine.

The lawsuit traces part of the controversy to an appearance by Victor Kofi Owusu on UTV’s United Showbiz programme on November 29, 2025.

The discussion reportedly touched on Akosua Serwaa’s relationship with Daddy Lumba and the German marriage certificate she relies on as evidence of their marriage.

Akosua Serwaa alleges that comments made during the programme suggested that the marriage certificate was fake. She maintains that the allegation was false and defamatory because it questioned both her marital status and the authenticity of an official German civil-status document.

She has also denied claims that the certificate was manufactured, forged or fabricated in Ashanti New Town or elsewhere in Kumasi.

According to the suit, similar allegations allegedly resurfaced in publications on June 8 and July 5, 2026.

Akosua Serwaa argues that the continued circulation of the claims has affected her reputation by casting doubt on her marriage to Daddy Lumba, her position as his lawful widow, and her honesty and integrity.

She further contends that the allegations reached a wider audience through television and social media. She says the United Showbiz had the potential to reach viewers across Ghana, while material posted on TikTok could easily be recorded, shared and reposted.

The plaintiff also claims that the controversy resulted in abusive comments from some social media users, who allegedly repeated the disputed allegations as though they had been established as fact.

Akosua Serwaa says the allegations have also affected her professional reputation as a nurse based in Germany.

She argues that accusations suggesting she forged or relied on a fraudulent German marriage certificate could negatively affect how others perceive her honesty, integrity and trustworthiness, which she considers important qualities in her profession.

She further maintains that the allegations have affected her personal dignity by creating uncertainty over whether she was genuinely married to Daddy Lumba.

The dispute, according to the claim, also has implications for her status as the late musician’s widow and her involvement in matters connected to his estate and family affairs.

Among the reliefs being sought, Akosua Serwaa wants the Kumasi High Court to declare the alleged statements false and defamatory.

She is also seeking a permanent injunction restraining the defendants, their representatives or anyone acting on their behalf from publishing or repeating allegations that her German marriage certificate is fake, forged or fabricated.

The proposed injunction would also cover claims that the certificate was produced in Ashanti New Town, Kumasi, as well as allegations that Akosua Serwaa was never legally married to Daddy Lumba.

She is asking that Victor Kofi Owusu be ordered to publish a retraction and apology on UTV and other television, online and social-media platforms where the disputed claims were allegedly circulated, subject to the court’s directions.

For Alex Kofi Boadi Ampong, she is seeking a similar order requiring the publication of a retraction and apology on TikTok and any other social-media platforms allegedly used to disseminate the statements.

Akosua Serwaa is ultimately seeking GH¢3 million in general and aggravated damages for defamation, or any other amount the court considers appropriate.

The allegations in the lawsuit are the plaintiff’s claims and have yet to be determined by the court.
