Prophet Nicholas Osei, also known as Prophet Kumchacha, has made a daring and enigmatic revelation regarding Daddy Lumba, also known as Charles Kwadwo Fosu, the highlife legend of Ghana. On Saturday, August 2, 2025, the vocal preacher called the music icon “a truly spiritual human being” with exceptional traits while appearing on UTV’s United Showbiz program.
In some situations, Kumchacha claims that Daddy Lumba’s spiritual presence is so great that it surpasses human comprehension and even death cannot overcome him.
“If Daddy Lumba had died on the day he was born, he would have risen again,” Kumchacha told the show’s host and fellow panelists.
The prophet’s unexpected statement briefly surprised the studio, evoking responses that ranged from surprise to laughter. But he stuck to his guns and maintained that Daddy Lumba is not your typical man.
On the show, Kumchacha’s comments provoked a heated discussion regarding the significance of spirituality in music, the impact of celebrities, and the mystery surrounding well-known people like Daddy Lumba. He underlined that some people had what he called “divine energy,” and Daddy Lumba is one such person, in his view.
“There are certain people God places on this earth who are not ordinary. They are spiritually fortified. Daddy Lumba is one of them,” he added.
This is not the first time Daddy Lumba has been linked to spiritual symbolism. Over the years, his mysterious public image, selective media presence, and long-lasting dominance in the highlife music scene have fueled various myths and speculations.
Born on September 29, 1964, Daddy Lumba has produced more than 30 albums and is widely regarded as one of Ghana’s greatest musicians of all time. His musical legacy spans over four decades, with a catalogue of timeless hits and a loyal fan base both locally and internationally.
Prophet Kumchacha’s latest comments add a spiritual dimension to the public discourse surrounding the legendary artist. While some view it as symbolic praise for Lumba’s impact and resilience, others interpret it more literally—typical of Kumchacha’s dramatic delivery style.

Despite the divided opinions, one thing remains clear: Daddy Lumba continues to be a towering figure not just in music, but in Ghanaian cultural and spiritual conversations as well.
