By Nana Agradaa dismisses Empress Gifty’s GH¢20 million lawsuit, vowing legal retaliation while calling out Hopeson Adorye’s alleged threats.
Self-acclaimed evangelist Patricia Asiedua, widely known as Nana Agradaa, has responded defiantly to the GH¢20 million defamation lawsuit filed against her by gospel singer Empress Gifty. The lawsuit, initiated at the Tema High Court, accuses Agradaa of making defamatory and offensive statements against Empress Gifty. It seeks damages for slander and libel, along with a perpetual injunction to prevent further defamatory publications.
Reacting to the lawsuit, Agradaa dismissed it outright, showing no concern over potential legal consequences. She boldly stated, “Any idiot can go to court.” She further claimed that she had moved past petty disputes and now associated with “classy people,” implying that she had no time for legal battles. Her remarks have sparked widespread reactions, with many questioning her dismissive attitude toward the serious allegations.
Agradaa did not stop at mocking Empress Gifty; she also directed harsh words at Gifty’s husband, Hopeson Adorye, accusing him of inciting violence against her. She alleged that Adorye had made public statements encouraging people to harm her, which she found unacceptable. In response, she issued a personal threat, warning that she would retaliate if she ever encountered him.
The evangelist further escalated the situation by declaring that she was not afraid of lawsuits and would take legal action of her own. She boldly stated that if Empress Gifty sued her for GH¢20 million, she would counter-sue Adorye for three times that amount in an international court, demanding compensation in U.S. dollars. This statement has fueled speculation about whether she intends to follow through with her threats.
The ongoing feud between Agradaa and Empress Gifty has drawn significant attention on social media, with many debating the implications of the lawsuit. Some believe that Agradaa’s remarks could further damage her reputation, while others see her defiance as a strategic move to maintain her public persona. Regardless, the legal battle is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about disputes in Ghana’s entertainment industry.
Empress Gifty’s lawsuit outlines several key demands, including a perpetual injunction to prevent Agradaa from making further defamatory statements. Additionally, she is seeking the removal of all videos and audio recordings containing Agradaa’s remarks from social media platforms. These demands indicate that Gifty is determined to protect her reputation and prevent further damage.
Agradaa’s response has raised questions about the effectiveness of defamation lawsuits in Ghana. While legal experts argue that such cases are necessary to uphold accountability, others believe that public figures often use lawsuits as a tool for media attention. The outcome of this case could set a precedent for future defamation disputes in the country.
Despite the legal threats, Agradaa remains unapologetic, continuing to make bold statements about the lawsuit. She insists that she will not be intimidated and maintains that she has every right to express her opinions. Her stance has led to mixed reactions, with some supporting her confidence while others criticize her approach.
As the case unfolds, many are eager to see whether Agradaa will follow through with her counter-lawsuit or if she will eventually settle the matter privately. Legal analysts suggest that both parties may opt for an out-of-court settlement, but given Agradaa’s defiant nature, this remains uncertain.
Ultimately, the feud between Nana Agradaa and Empress Gifty highlights the complex relationship between public figures and defamation laws. Whether the lawsuit succeeds or not, it has already sparked intense discussions about freedom of speech, accountability, and the power of social media in shaping public narratives.
