“Why take over Lumba’s funeral now?” – Papa Shee questions Abusuapanin’s role in late musician’s burial plans

Gospel musician and outspoken social commentator Papa Shee has sparked conversation online after questioning why Daddy Lumba’s Abusuapanin is now taking charge of the highlife legend’s funeral arrangements despite allegedly not being on speaking terms with him for over two decades.
According to Papa Shee, it is confusing that someone who reportedly had a strained relationship with the late icon during his lifetime is now positioning himself at the forefront of key funeral decisions.
“Abusuapanin had not been on speaking terms with Daddy Lumba for over 20 years, so why is he now taking over his funeral arrangements now that he is dead?”

His comments have stirred mixed reactions, with some Ghanaians agreeing that unresolved tensions should be acknowledged in funeral planning, while others argue that traditional family structures still give the Abusuapanin a central role regardless of personal issues.
The debate comes at a time when public interest in Daddy Lumba’s funeral arrangements remains high, especially following court rulings and family disputes surrounding his marital status and estate matters.
Papa Shee’s remarks add yet another layer to the unfolding conversation, as fans continue to reflect on the late musician’s life, legacy and the dynamics surrounding his final rites.
