Abusuapanin Tupac has explained why several high profile personalities were absent from the funeral of the late Ghanaian music icon Daddy Lumba, stating that the situation was largely due to multiple funerals held during the same weekend.
Speaking on the matter, Abusuapanin Tupac clarified that the funeral coincided with numerous other burial ceremonies across the country. According to him, many traditional leaders, public officials, and respected figures had already committed to attending other funerals long before Daddy Lumba’s final rites were scheduled. These overlapping obligations made it difficult for them to be physically present, despite their respect and admiration for the legendary musician.
He stressed that the absence of these individuals should not be interpreted as disregard for Daddy Lumba or his family. Instead, it reflected the cultural realities surrounding funerals, where prior commitments and family responsibilities often take precedence. Abusuapanin Tupac noted that many of those who could not attend had reached out privately to express their condolences and support.
The explanation comes amid public discussions and commentary on social media questioning why more influential figures were not present at the funeral. Abusuapanin Tupac urged the public to approach the matter with understanding, reminding people that attendance alone does not measure the value or impact of Daddy Lumba’s legacy.
Daddy Lumba remains one of Ghana’s most celebrated musicians, whose influence spans generations. His funeral drew thousands of fans, industry players, and sympathizers who gathered to honor his life and musical contributions. Despite the absence of some notable personalities, the event was marked by deep emotion, tributes, and a strong show of love from the public.
Abusuapanin Tupac concluded by encouraging unity and respect during the mourning period, emphasizing that Daddy Lumba’s legacy will continue to live on through his music and the lives he touched.
