Abusuapanin Tupac Says Anyone Who Used Daddy Lumba’s Date Of Birth To Win Lotto Should Share Proceeds
A family elder of the late highlife legend Daddy Lumba, popularly known as Abusuapanin Tupac, has made a humorous but pointed statement following reports that some individuals allegedly used the musician’s date of birth to stake lottery numbers and won.
Speaking publicly after Daddy Lumba’s passing, Abusuapanin Tupac remarked that anyone who benefited financially by using the singer’s personal details, particularly his date of birth, should come forward and share part of the winnings with the family. According to him, while the comment was partly lighthearted, it also highlighted concerns about how people quickly seek personal gain during moments of grief.
He explained that Daddy Lumba was a national icon whose life and legacy should be treated with dignity and respect, especially during the mourning period. Abusuapanin Tupac noted that turning such a solemn moment into an opportunity for betting or profit reflects poorly on societal values and the way some people approach tragedy.
The family elder also used the opportunity to remind the public that Daddy Lumba’s contribution to Ghanaian music spans decades and goes beyond numbers, trends, or financial gains. He emphasized that the late musician’s impact should be honoured through remembrance of his music, discipline, and influence on younger artists, rather than through superstitions or gambling.
His comments have since sparked mixed reactions online. While some people found the statement humorous and symbolic, others viewed it as a subtle criticism of how death often becomes commercialised in various ways.
As preparations continue for final funeral arrangements, the family has appealed for respect, privacy, and support. They urged fans to celebrate Daddy Lumba’s legacy responsibly and to remember him for the timeless music and cultural influence he left behind.
