Daddy Lumba Mausoleum will soon be opened to the public, allowing fans, friends, and music lovers to visit the final resting place of the late Highlife icon and honour his remarkable legacy.

Former manager of the legendary musician, Roman Fada, has disclosed that the family is preparing to announce an official date for public access to the mausoleum.

Speaking in an interview with media personality Kofi Adoma, Roman Fada explained that the move is aimed at giving admirers of Daddy Lumba the chance to pay their respects and celebrate the musician’s contribution to Ghana’s music industry.

According to him, the mausoleum will serve as a place where visitors can learn more about Daddy Lumba’s life, career, achievements, and influence on Highlife music.

He added that plans are in place to make the facility a memorable experience for fans, with displays featuring the musician’s journey, major performances, awards, and important moments from his career.

Roman Fada revealed that giant screens will be installed at the mausoleum to showcase some of Daddy Lumba’s historic performances, while his music will also be played to create an atmosphere that keeps his legacy alive.

He further stated that visitors may be required to pay a small fee to access the facility, with funds expected to support the maintenance and upkeep of the mausoleum.

The announcement comes after the family marked the first anniversary of the passing of the Highlife legend by sharing details about his final resting place.

Daddy Lumba, born Charles Kwadwo Fosuh, passed away on July 26, 2025, and was laid to rest at his private residence in East Legon, Accra, ending months of speculation about where his final resting place was located.

The planned Daddy Lumba Mausoleum is expected to become a centre for preserving and celebrating the life, music, and legacy of one of Ghana’s most influential musicians.

Ghanaian dancehall artiste Charles Nii Armah Mensah, popularly known as Shatta Wale, has opened up about the reason behind the breakdown of his once-close relationship with Nigerian Afrobeats star Burna Boy.

Speaking in an interview on the Brunch podcast, Shatta Wale claimed that some of his former associates allegedly spread false allegations about him, which affected his relationship with Burna Boy.

According to Shatta Wale, he stopped working with some members of his team after noticing that they were damaging his image and relationships with influential people.

“I had this team I was working with, and I eventually told them I didn’t want to work with them anymore. About five or seven of these guys started calling every rich man or every important person in my life, telling them I was sleeping with their wives,” he said.

He alleged that one of the claims was made to Burna Boy, with the people telling the Nigerian musician that Shatta Wale was involved with his girlfriend.

“One of them affected Burna Boy. They told Burna Boy that I was sleeping with his girl. They literally wanted to destroy my relationships with everyone,” Shatta Wale claimed.

The dancehall artiste said he was unaware of the allegations until Burna Boy distanced himself from him without allowing him to explain.

Shatta Wale also recalled the support he offered Burna Boy and his family during a difficult period, describing their former bond as a brotherly relationship.

He said Burna Boy’s mother once regarded him as family after he helped them during their stay in Ghana.

“His mum is like my mother because there was a time Burna had a problem in Ghana. They drove from Nigeria to Ghana, and I met them, took them somewhere safe, and looked after them,” he added.

Shatta Wale maintained that he built his success through personal effort and expressed disappointment that people he trusted allegedly contributed to the loss of his friendship with Burna Boy.

Apostle Kwadwo Safo Kantanka burial date reports circulating on social media and other platforms have been dismissed by the leader of Kristo Asafo Mission, Israel Kwadwo Akofena Safo Kantanka.

Akofena Safo Kantanka has urged members of the church and the general public to disregard any information suggesting that a date has been fixed for the burial of the founder of Kristo Asafo Mission, Apostle Dr Kwadwo Safo Kantanka.

Speaking at a press conference, he stated that neither the Kristo Asafo Mission nor the Safo family had officially announced any burial date.

“I urge the members of Kristo Asafo Mission to disregard any date and information circulating,” he said.

According to him, the family has not authorised anyone to release funeral arrangements for the late Apostle Dr Kwadwo Safo Kantanka.

“The Asante Kotoko family seated here has not released any date,” he stressed.

Mr Akofena explained that the presence of the traditional head of the family, uncles, the church’s council of elders, regional council chairmen, secretaries, and leaders of various church groups showed that the official process was still ongoing.

He noted that these recognised family and church authorities have the mandate to oversee important decisions, including funeral arrangements and leadership matters within Kristo Asafo Mission.

Reaffirming his authority as the Kankanta family head and leader of Kristo Asafo Mission, Akofena Safo Kantanka insisted that claims about a confirmed burial date were false.

“I stand on my authority as the Kankanta family head and the leader of Kristo Asafo to say throw away any date you have heard about. There’s no truth in it,” he stated.

He also dismissed reports that the burial would take place on July 30, saying: “There’ll be no burial held on the 30th.”

Mr Kantanka called on members of Kristo Asafo Mission and the public to wait for an official announcement from the Safo family and the church before accepting any information about the funeral arrangements.
