Prophet was 'shown' Daddy Lumba's death
Amid the sadness, it has emerged that a prophet named Regal Bismark Nana Boateng, also known as Regal Prophet, had predicted doom for Daddy Lumba a few weeks before his passing.
In a post on his Facebook page on June 13, 2025, he urged the musician's fans around the world to gather and pray for him, stating that during meditation that morning, he saw Daddy Lumba lifeless in a room.
"Quick notice from the prophet. Daddy Lumba fans around the world should gather and keep him [in] prayers, especially this month.
"After prayers this morning, I decided to sit on my couch and rest and meditate. While meditating, my spirit entered Lumba's house and his room, and I saw him lying down lifeless and a man was telling me he died from dementia.
"I saw the nation mourning. Join me as we all intercede [for] him. God have mercy."

Regal Prophet explains his Daddy Lumba prophecy
While Prophet Nana Boateng's prediction flew under the radar on social media, without getting much traction, it has resurfaced prominently after the highlife legend's death.
Moments after his two-month-old Facebook post went viral, Regal Prophet granted an interview with Neat FM to explain what happened.
He claimed that he did not have any contact with Daddy Lumba's team, hence his decision to put the post online.
According to his vision, which suggested that Lumba's death was supposed to happen in June, he said God had granted more time for the celebrated musician to be redeemed.
"I was ever ready to avail myself for God to use me to save him. It was supposed to happen in June, but God wanted to find a way to deliver... I tried my best to contact him but I could not," he said.
