Chinese lady mourns Daddy Lumba
Serwaa Pawpaw on TikTok joined several Ghanaians and people from other nationalities around the world to pay tribute to Daddy Lumba.
In a trending video, she was dressed in all black. Her short-sleeved dress had tiny white polka dots, and it accentuated her slender figure.
She held a red silk scarf close to her chest as she recited an emotional poem in Twi. In the poem, she cried out about the passing of the Obi Ate Me So Buo crooner.
“Something has happened to me . Something has happened to me. Daddy is gone. Lumba is gone,” she said in the video.
After reciting her poem, she covered her face with the red silk scarf and began to cry. However, it is not certain whether her tears were real or fake.
Meanwhile, Ghanaians are in a state of mourning after learning about the passing of Daddy Lumba, which happened in the early hours of Saturday, July 26, 2025.
According to a statement by the family and signed by the lawyer Rita Ali Yallah, the legendary musician passed on after battling a short illness.
