Following the death of Highlife legend Daddy Lumba, speculations over tension between his two wives have been firmly denied by his manager, Roman Fada.
In a video alongside both Akosua Serwaa and Odo Broni, Fada, known in private life as Philip Kwabena Agyeman, addressed growing rumours on social media suggesting the women were at odds. Standing calmly beside them, he urged the public to ignore the gossip.
“My bosses, Akosua Serwaa and Odo Broni, are here. Ignore the rumours on social media about the two of them fighting… Daddy Lumba was a man of peace… We are all for unity and peace,” he said.
Tensions among fans had been escalating online in recent weeks, largely fuelled by questions surrounding who would perform the customary widowhood rites. Debates occurred over which of the two women should be considered the “official” wife, further fanned by a recent family gathering where Roman Fada introduced both women, an act some interpreted as favouring Odo Broni over Akosua Serwaa.

The proposed festival is part of a broader initiative by the Ministry to secure UNESCO recognition for both highlife music and Kete as elements of Ghana’s intangible cultural heritage, a step aimed at safeguarding and honouring the nation’s traditional arts.
With funeral arrangements underway, Gomashie affirmed the Ministry’s dedication to preserving Daddy Lumba’s legacy and supporting his bereaved family.

Ghanaian actress and entrepreneur, Victoria Lebene, has opened up about her early spiritual aspirations, revealing that she once imagined a future deeply rooted in ministry.
During an interview on The Career Trail with Irene Adubea Aning, aired on Joy Learning TV and Joy News, Lebene revealed how her childhood encounters with faith shaped her dreams, including the belief that she would one day become a pastor’s wife.
“Ministry for me started at a young age. My mom and I would go to church, and the prophet would say, your child will be a pastor. And I thought that I was going to marry a pastor,” she recalled.
Despite that early conviction, life took a surprising turn. She eventually married renowned entertainment blogger Eugene Osafo-Nkansah, popularly known as Konkonsa, long before completing her education at Zenith University.

“Sometimes you may not know the direction that our Lord is taking you, and so you turn a blind eye to certain things you are supposed to pay attention to.
“But I thank God for everything I am, because it is through Him that I have become who I am today,” the actress averred.
Angel Asiamah, husband of incarcerated evangelist Nana Agradaa, has revealed that her first heartfelt wish from prison is to seek forgiveness from three prominent Ghanaian leaders.

“I remember visiting my wife at the Nsawam Prison. I asked her what she would say to the world if she were given just a minute.
“She said she would use that moment to apologise to three individuals: first, His Excellency President Mahama, second, Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, and third, Lawyer Sammy Gyamfi.
“She would plead that God touches their hearts to forgive her,” he stated.

Known in private life as Patricia Asiedua, the former traditional priestess turned Christian evangelist was convicted on July 3, 2025, for defrauding the public by false pretence and for engaging in charlatanic advertisement. The charges stemmed from a controversial 2022 “money-doubling” scheme that convinced many churchgoers to part with large sums of cash in exchange for promised divine returns.
An Accra Circuit Court handed her a 15-year sentence with hard labour. She was moved to Nsawam two days after her conviction.
Despite her confinement, Agradaa hasn’t abandoned her spiritual mission. According to Asiamah, she has already begun preaching to fellow inmates and “winning souls for Christ” from within the prison walls.
