She stated categorically that the late singer was not her biological father as many people had claimed.
“So I was gonna totally ignore this, but it's becoming too much. No. I am not Daddy Lumba's biological daughter. Actually, Daddy Lumba is everybody's daddy.” she said.
She explained that she once addressed Lumba as her father due to the fact that she believes he is a fatherly figure to all Ghanaians.
Odo claimed that the video was then manipulated to make it seem that she meant he was her biological father.
“Somebody made a rumour from a video that I did when I was working on Questa TV, saying that Daddy Lumba is my dad. But then I said, I'm just joking. That clout chaser took my video and clipped it to fit his agenda that he was my father. But he was everyone's nurturer in a way,” she said.
Daddy Lumba, born Charles Kwadwo Fosu, died on Saturday, July 26, 2025 at the age of 60.
