Ghanaian spiritual duo Mystic Twins, McMaine and McKenzie, have claimed that Highlife legend Daddy Lumba’s reputation would have been tarnished if he had lived longer.
In an interview on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM, hosted by Kwame Dadzie, the twin brothers said this explains why legends do not live long.
“If Daddy Lumba had lived up to 70 or 80, his name would have been spoilt. Legends don’t live for long. He lived too long,” they stated.
They explained that while Lumba was alive some people had already started making up negative stories about the legendary highlife musician.
Speaking on spirituality in the music industry, while describing most prophets as “emotional opportunists, the Mystic Twins added that no false death prophecies about celebrities can have any impact on them.
“We are messengers from God; you’ll go after you’re done delivering your message,” they said.
Making reference to recent death prophecy about Shatta Wale by Counselor DY Donkor, they mentioned that when the time for dancehall artiste Shatta Wale to die comes, “he’ll go, but not based on fake prophecies.”
The Mystic Twins, known in private life as Nana Akwasi Agyemang Panyin (McMaine) and Nana Akwasi Agyemang Kakra (McKenzie), describe themselves as spiritual figures who believe that music carries spiritual energy.
Daddy Lumba, born Charles Kwadwo Fosu, reportedly died on Saturday, 26 July 2025, at the age of 59. His death was confirmed by a family representative through his radio station, DLFM.
He is celebrated as one of Ghana’s greatest Highlife musicians with a career spanning more than three decades and numerous hit songs.
