Highlife singer, Kofi Nti, has admitted that he was not originally a fan of late music legend, Daddy Lumba. According to him, he didn’t like Daddy Lumba initially.
Speaking in an interview on Adom TV, Kofi Nti revealed that his early bias was influenced by the popular alleged rift between Daddy Lumba and Nana Acheampong after the split of their Lumba Brothers group.
“I wasn’t a fan of Lumba. Actually, I was a fan of Nana Acheampong because it got to a time when the two were not on good terms. So my mother was an Acheampong fan, and I automatically became his fan,” he said.
According to him, his perception changed when a neighbour noticed his striking resemblance to Lumba’s voice.
“There was this woman in our house who loved playing Lumba’s songs. She told me to listen carefully because I sang like him. Because I love music, I started listening to Lumba’s songs, and that was how I became a fan,” Kofi Nti recalled.
His confession comes in the wake of Daddy Lumba’s passing, whose one-week observation was held at the Black Star Square on August 30, 2025. The family is yet to announce the date for the burial and final funeral rites.
