Patricia Asiedu, popularly known as Nana Agradaa, has denied receiving any writ of summons from gospel musician Empress Gifty following reports of a GH₵20 million defamation lawsuit.
The writ of summons, which surfaced online on May 21, 2025, alleges that Nana Agradaa defamed Empress Gifty during a live broadcast on social media platforms, including Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube, on May 13, 2025.
The claims in the writ state that Nana Agradaa accused Empress Gifty of being promiscuous, a zoophile, an adulterous wife involved with pastors, and other damaging allegations that have affected the singer’s reputation and career.
Empress Gifty’s legal team contends that the defamatory statements have caused widespread public ridicule, damaged her reputation, affected her children, and disrupted her international program scheduled for August 2025.
Consequently, Empress Gifty is seeking GH₵20 million in damages.
However, Nana Agradaa told Adom FM’s OPD show that she has not been officially served with any court documents.
She stated, “When someone sues another person in court, the person being sued needs to be handed over the writ of summons. As I speak to you, nobody has served me any court letter, so I don’t know the court summon you are talking about.”
She added that she only hears about the lawsuit through social media and stressed that she would only respond if properly served.
“If anybody has an issue with me, I stay at Weija in Accra. In law, you need to come serve me the writ of summons. Somebody can print out something and put it on social media for trends,” Nana Agradaa said.
She challenged Empress Gifty to serve the writ officially, saying, “If Empress has the guts to serve me the writ of summons, she is welcome.”
