While much attention has been drawn to the perceived music feud between Daddy Lumba and Nana Acheampong, their uncanny resemblance remains a focal point of discussion.
Despite being depicted as rivals in the highlife music scene, the similarities between these two icons outweigh their differences.
Addressing these perceptions, Nana Acheampong revealed that their relationship transcends mere competition and is rooted in brotherhood.
Speaking to GHPage TV, the Ghanaian highlife legend emphasized that although they are not biologically related, they often find themselves paralleling each other’s actions.
Nana Acheampong noted that their likeness extends beyond physical appearance to encompass their musical styles, leaving him astounded by the parallels.
The ‘Nanka ebeye den’ hitmaker disclosed that the resemblance is so striking that he frequently faces inquiries about whether they share blood ties or are even twins.
“For the resemblance, people talk about it a lot. I get a lot of comments about it and he does experience the same. People actually think we are blood brothers or twins.
“We find ourselves doing the same things even if we are out of each other’s sight. For instance, when I made my hairstyle, I didn’t even know he had done the same thing. Look at my face, my hair, and look at his,” he stated.
Nana Acheampong also recounted an interesting instance when Daddy Lumba’s mother once mistook him for her son.
“I remember I had this outfit that I didn’t know he also had. There was an instance where I went to visit Lumba’s mother one day and she thought it was her son. She said, ‘Kwadwo, why didn’t you tell me before coming,” he recalled.
Tackling claims of ‘rivalry’ between them he said,
“There is no bad blood between my brother Lumba and me. We never said we were fighting and informed you to also fight. You were the ones who made up your minds to fight because you thought we were fighting. I think people didn’t understand why we had to split up.
“They thought we had a fight and fell apart; they didn’t know we had an amicable decision to be solo artistes. Nobody even took a step to ask us why we decided to split, they just perceived that we fought.”
