It has come to light that there may have been long-standing personal tension between late highlife star Dada Kwakye Duah, popularly known as Dada K.D., and music legend Charles Kwadwo Fosu, aka Daddy Lumba.

Following Dada K.D.’s passing on Friday, May 16, 2025, after a brief illness, an old video has surfaced in which the late musician revealed a deeply personal and controversial encounter involving Daddy Lumba.

In the footage, Dada K.D. recounted how he unknowingly entered into a romantic relationship with a woman who, unbeknownst to him at the time, was also romantically involved with Daddy Lumba.

According to Dada K.D., during one of his trips abroad, he needed accommodation, and Daddy Lumba introduced him to a woman who could help.

However, Lumba allegedly did not disclose his romantic involvement with her. Dada K.D. said that after moving in with the woman, they developed a close relationship, which later became intimate and even resulted in the birth of a child.

It was only much later that the woman allegedly showed him photos of herself with Daddy Lumba, hinting at their past connection.

Dada K.D. expressed regret over the incident, stating that while they maintained what seemed like a cordial public relationship, he suspected there was lingering animosity from Lumba over the matter.

The revelation has stirred strong reactions from fans online, with some expressing shock while others note that such stories underscore the complex and often private dynamics between public figures in Ghana's music industry.

Despite any underlying tensions, both Dada K.D. and Daddy Lumba are widely respected for their immense contributions to highlife music.

Dada K.D.'s untimely death remains a huge loss to Ghanaian music lovers.
