According to a report by Ghbase, Highlife music legend Daddy Lumba was quietly battling serious health problems while many fans only saw his fame and success. His best friend, Dwabeng Fosu, has now revealed that the singer had a spinal injury for many years.
He said Lumba got the injury after an accident when he was young. At that time, he was still very active and didn’t take the injury seriously.
But as he grew older, the pain became worse and started to affect him deeply. Later, doctors told Lumba that he needed surgery to fix his spine.
He went through a difficult operation that cost $40,000. Metal was used to replace parts of his spine during the surgery.
Even after this costly treatment, his health did not return to normal. He kept living in pain, even while still performing and smiling in public.
Fans didn’t know what he was truly going through behind closed doors. He continued to sing and produce songs while hiding the pain.
According to Dwabeng, doctors told Lumba he did not have long to live. Because of that, Lumba released a special song called “Makra Mo.”
That song was his way of saying goodbye to everyone he loved. It was full of emotion and came from a place of deep pain and truth.
Dwabeng said the song showed how Lumba felt inside, even when people didn’t see it. Lumba’s life was full of music, but also full of silent pain.
He gave the world his songs, even when his body was failing him. Now, many people are learning the truth behind one of Ghana’s greatest music legend.
