The Tema High Court in Ghana has dismissed Nana Agradaa’s application to throw out a GH₵20 million defamation suit filed by gospel musician Empress Gifty. In a ruling on Thursday, June 26, 2025, the court held that Agradaa had a case to answer and ordered her to pay GH₵6,000 in costs to the singer.
The Defamation Suit
The lawsuit stems from accusations made by Agradaa against Empress Gifty, alleging that the singer was involved in multiple affairs to fund her lavish lifestyle. Empress Gifty retaliated by filing a defamation lawsuit against Agradaa, seeking GH₵20 million in damages.
Court’s Ruling
The court’s decision means that the defamation lawsuit will proceed to the next stage. Agradaa’s application to dismiss the case was rejected, and she was ordered to pay GH₵6,000 in costs to Empress Gifty. The court’s ruling has been seen as a significant victory for Empress Gifty, who has maintained that Agradaa’s allegations were baseless and damaging to her reputation.
Reaction to the Ruling
After the court dismissed Agradaa’s application, fans in attendance hooted in support of Empress Gifty, showing their disapproval of Agradaa’s actions. Empress Gifty’s lawyer has hinted at the next moves in the case, while Agradaa has continued to show defiance despite the court’s decision.
New Development in the Case
In a surprising turn of events, Empress Gifty has filed a second defamation lawsuit against Agradaa, seeking GH₵20 million in damages for allegedly claiming that the singer suffers from HIV. This new development adds to the ongoing legal battle between the two women.
What’s Next
With the dismissal application out of the way, the main case will now proceed in the coming weeks. The court’s decision to reject Agradaa’s application and order her to pay costs to Empress Gifty has set the stage for a potentially lengthy and dramatic legal battle. As the case unfolds, fans and followers of both Empress Gifty and Nana Agradaa will be watching closely to see how the situation develops.
