“I believe Daddy Lumba is bigger than Michael Jackson” – Fameye

Ghanaian singer-songwriter Fameye has set social media ablaze after boldly declaring that the late highlife legend Daddy Lumba surpasses the global “King of Pop”, Michael Jackson — at least when it comes to creativity.

In a video shared on 11 August 2025, Fameye didn’t mince words:

“In my opinion, Daddy Lumba is greater than Michael Jackson. I understand him when he sings.”

The statement quickly gained traction online, especially on Instagram, where many fans echoed his sentiment, pointing to Daddy Lumba’s prolific catalogue, unique style, and decades-long influence on Ghanaian music.

While some agreed wholeheartedly, others insisted Michael Jackson’s unmatched global impact and innovation still put him ahead — fueling a lively back-and-forth that shows no sign of slowing.
