Nana Acheampong surprisingly says there was never any hostility or what many call ‘beef’ between him and his ‘brother’ Daddy Lumba.
Speaking to Nana Romeo on Accra 100.5 FM’s Ayekoo Ayekoo show on Monday, April 22, 2024, he addressed the perception that their rumoured feud was one of the first or even the most significant clashes between Ghanaian music legends.
“It might appear as though we initiated this trend of musical rivalries, but my brother and I, despite what people say, harboured no ill will towards each other. There was never any issue between us,” he explained.
He went on to clarify, “What actually happened was a natural parting of ways after collaborating in music for a while. People speculated it was due to money or relationships.”
“The disappointment stemmed from fans who had admired us as a duo of young, talented musicians. Our split was a significant event for them,” he added.
Nana Acheampong likened the rift between their fans to the intense rivalry between football clubs Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko, both vying for a single trophy.
