On Saturday, 28 March 2026, hundreds of Ghanaian women gathered at the University of Ghana Stadium in Legon for what had originally been announced as the Celebration of Life of Daddy Lumba. By the time they arrived, the event had a different title. A court injunction, filed by the Ekuona Royal Family of Parkoso and Nsuta, had stopped any gathering in the dead musician’s name.
And so, in a moment that felt almost poetic in its defiance, organiser Papa Shee simply changed the fliers. The women had not come to mourn a legend. They had come, it turned out, to celebrate his first wife.
