Actor Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as Lil Win, has finally expressed regret to actress Martha Ankomah for making disparaging statements about her.

Subsequently, the actress filed a defamation lawsuit against Lil Win, seeking GH¢5 million in damages, compensatory damages for reputational harm, retraction, and an apology, among other reliefs.
Lil Win has apologized in a post that has gone viral, even though the matter is still pending, and has another hearing scheduled for August 26.

“I apologize for what I did. Martha Ankomah is not only a sister, but she is a colleague too. I accept my fault and render an unqualified apology to her. I want to use this medium and call on all of you present in the studio, Fada Dickson, Despite among others, to apologize to her for me,” he said.
In court on July 31, lawyers for the plaintiff announced a new development in the case prior to the hearing.
Accra-based Starr FM reports that Martha Ankomah’s legal team, led by Nii Apatu Plange, informed the court that a settlement had been reached between the plaintiff and the defendant.
This prompted a brief adjournment by the court to finalize the agreement.
“There has been some development. We were supposed to start the trial today, (Wednesday, July 31). Unfortunately, some development has come up, and I pray that my client and I approach the bench,” he submitted.
The presiding judge, Justice Forson Agyapong Baah, acknowledged the development and adjourned the case to August 26, 2024, to formalize the settlement.
