Lilwin – Martha Ankomah defamation case rises as court set to hear Martha out

The defamation case brought by actress Martha Ankomah against Kumawood actor Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as Lil Win, will be heard on July 31.

This follows the completion of the Case Management Conference on July 25, overseen by Justice Forson Agyapong Baah at the High Court in Accra.

The judge has ordered that Lil Win be notified of the hearing and the court’s notes via the usual means, as he was absent at the previous session and did not have legal representation.

Martha Ankomah is suing Lil Win for defamatory remarks he made about her in a viral video.

In the video, Lil Win is heard making disparaging comments about Ankomah’s significance in the film industry.

The lawsuit, filed on February 14, 2024, claims that Lil Win’s statements have damaged her reputation and that of the brand GTP.

Ankomah asserts that Lil Win falsely accused her of looking down on Kumawood actors and refusing to collaborate with them due to perceived poor-quality storylines.

Legal costs.

The lawsuit stems from an incident where, during a radio interview on Accra FM, Ankomah expressed disinterest in collaborating with Kumawood actors, citing an aversion to witchcraft storylines. Lil Win responded angrily, leading to the statements Ankomah claims are defamatory.

Ankomah’s statement of claim highlights her long and respected career in the film industry, her ambassadorial roles, and the impact of Lil Win’s statements on her reputation.

She emphasizes that she has never made disparaging remarks about Kumawood or its storylines as claimed by Lil Win.
