Odo Broni, the estranged widow of late Ghanaian Highlife legend Charles Kwadwo Fosu, popularly known as Daddy Lumba, has made an emotional appeal at the musician’s graveside, pleading with him to clear her name over persistent allegations linking her to his death.
The emotional moment occurred during a memorial ceremony held over the weekend to mark one year since the passing of the celebrated Highlife icon. Family members, close associates, and admirers gathered to honour Daddy Lumba’s legacy.
In a video that has since gone viral on social media, Odo Broni was seen overcome with emotion as she broke down in tears while standing at the late singer’s grave.
Through sobs, she appealed to Daddy Lumba to vindicate her, saying she has endured immense emotional pain and public condemnation over claims that she was responsible for his death.
“I am suffering. Papa, while you were alive, I was never at loggerheads with you. Papa, you were the only person who knew the truth because, when you were alive, you told me that if not for me, you would have died a long time ago.
“You even told people how good I was to you. Papa, please clear my name. I am crying at your grave because I have suffered,” she said.
Her emotional remarks have sparked widespread reactions online, with many social media users expressing sympathy, while others continued to debate the longstanding allegations surrounding Daddy Lumba’s death.
The memorial service brought together family, friends and fans to celebrate the life and musical legacy of one of Ghana’s most influential Highlife musicians, whose songs continue to resonate with generations of music lovers. Throughout the ceremony, tributes poured in from admirers who reflected on his remarkable contribution to Ghana’s music industry and the lasting impact of his work.
The viral video of Odo Broni’s emotional plea has since become one of the most-discussed moments from the anniversary event, reigniting conversations about the late musician’s personal life and the accusations that have followed his passing.
