Veteran Ghanaian highlife artiste, Charles Kwadwo Fosu,popularly known as Daddy Lumba, has sued Kwame Anokye also a highlife artiste as Daddy Lumba Jnr. for impersonation.

Lumba filed the lawsuit at the Accra High Court alleging Kwame Anokye also known as DL Junior professes to be his son and even impersonates him to get gifts from people.

Kwame Anokye has branded himself as Daddy Lumba Jnr. for the past years; he’s granted interviews with that tag, graced events and even performed at several events.

According to an entertainmentgh.com report, the complainant alleges that Anokye has a history of impersonating him since his appearance on a TV Africa-produced reality show, ‘Just Like You’ which was produced in 2010.

‘Just Like You’ was a reality TV show which gave artistes the platform to mimic their favourite celebrities. DL Junior, on that show, imitated Daddy Lumba.

Kwame Anokye after the show has been carrying the name DL Junior and performs at functions.

The plaintiff says, since the name Daddy Lumba is exclusively associated to him within the music industry and that no one goes by that name, the defendant’s imitation and misrepresentation has affected his reputation, business and goodwill and the brand as a whole.
