A defamation lawsuit between gospel musician, Empress Gifty Oppong Adorye and self-acclaimed evangelist, Patricia Asiedua, popularly known as Agradaa, has been resolved amicably.
The settlement, confirmed by the High Court in Tema on Tuesday, requires Agradaa to pay GHC100,000 and issue a public apology.
The terms have been adopted as a binding consent judgment by the court where the case was being heard.
The dispute stemmed from lawsuits filed by Empress Gifty on May 20 and June 26, 2025, alleging that Agradaa’s public statements damaged her reputation.
In her original writ, the musician sought GHC40 million in damages, the removal of related content from social media, and a perpetual injunction against further defamatory publications.
According to a press statement issued by Agradaa’s lawyers, Agyaa Asamani Law Consult, the two parties reached a mutual agreement following private, constructive dialogue.
As part of the settlement, Agradaa has paid GHC100,000 to cover Empress Gifty’s legal fees and related expenses.
She has publicly retracted the statements and rendered a formal apology, and in return, Empress Gifty has relinquished all further claims and demands related to the suit.
Edem Mensah-Tsotorme, manager for Empress Gifty, confirmed that the payment and apology had been completed.
With the entry of the consent judgment, the matter is now fully and finally settled, bringing an end to the legal confrontation between the two public figures.
