On September 29, 2026, Daddy Lumba's family marked what would have been his 62nd birthday with a charitable initiative at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra. His second wife, Odo Broni, and sister, Faustina Fosu, visited the hospital to support mothers who could not settle their medical bills after giving birth. The initiative drew widespread attention as Daddy Lumba's family continues to honour the late highlife legend's memory.
The hospital visit was part of a broader set of activities organised to celebrate Daddy Lumba's birthday. He passed away on July 26, 2025, at the age of 60, prompting an enormous wave of grief from fans, fellow musicians, and public figures across Ghana and the rest of the continent. By choosing to support vulnerable mothers at one of Ghana's most prominent public hospitals, the family gave the birthday commemoration a humanitarian dimension.
Daddy Lumba's career spanned several decades, during which he produced a catalogue of highlife hits that remain staples among Ghanaian music lovers. Since his passing, his songs and his influence on the country's music industry have continued to feature prominently in public discourse. His family's efforts to keep that memory alive have attracted consistent attention.
The decision to help mothers unable to clear their bills after giving birth has been widely praised as a fitting tribute to a musician whose work touched many lives. For many fans, the Korle Bu visit represents more than a birthday gesture. It speaks to the family's commitment to honouring Lumba through action, ensuring that the spirit associated with his life and music extends into meaningful support for people in need.
A video from the hospital visit, which captured Odo Broni and Faustina Fosu interacting with patients, has since circulated widely online. The charitable initiative has become one of the standout moments from this year's birthday commemorations. Odo Broni and Faustina Fosu were joined by other supporters during the visit.
Earlier, Odo Broni paid a visit to the statue of Daddy Lumba's late mother, Ama Saah, in Atimatim, where she appeared to pray and pay her respects. The monument was reportedly built by Daddy Lumba to preserve his mother's memory and honour her influence. A video of Odo Broni's quiet gestures at the statue has drawn attention online.
