While some fans have praised the performance as a touching tribute to the legendary artiste, others have expressed strong disapproval and accused the impersonator of trying to “forcibly take Daddy Lumba’s place” just days after the music icon’s passing.
“This is not the time to impersonate him. Let the man rest in peace,” one commenter wrote, while another added, “If it’s a tribute, fine — but this looks more like an attempt to gain attention.”
