During his performance at the recently held Global Citizen Festival, British rapper Michael Ebenezer Kwadjo Omari Owuo, popularly known as Stormzy eulogized Ghanaian high-life legend Daddy Lumba by wearing a t-shirt with his picture in it.

This act by Stormzy has caught the attention of Daddy Lumba who has taken to his social media pages to return the favor and show his appreciation.

Daddy Lumba, born Charles Kwadwo Fosu took to his Facebook page to appreciate Stormzy for paying homage to him at the Global Citizens event held at the black star square in Accra.

Daddy Lumba said he was grateful to be celebrated by a new school rap act on a global stage, adding that words cannot express his love for Stormzy’s actions.

“I was immensely touched by Stormzy’s homage to me last night at the Global Citizen Festival. I would like to take this opportunity to share my gratitude and appreciation for the public display of love.

To say that the gesture was heartwarming and humbling is an understatement. Thank you very much!” a post on his official social media page read.

Ghana’s first-ever Global Citizen Festival marking the 65th anniversary of the country’s independence brought together Artistes and President Akufo-Addo to achieve an ambitious policy agenda focused on empowering girls and women, defending the planet, and creating change.
