Ghanaian actor Kwadwo Nkansah, also known as Lil Win, has issued a public apology to actress Martha Ankomah following a series of defamatory comments he made about her.

Lil Win's remarks, which had sparked controversy on social media, questioned Ankomah's status in the film industry and included offensive language. In response, Ankomah filed a defamation suit against him, seeking GH¢5 million in damages, along with a retraction and formal apology.

Although the legal proceedings are ongoing, with the next court session scheduled for August 26, Lil Win took to social media to apologize. On the United Showbiz show on August 3, he expressed regret, clarifying that his comments were not intended to insult Ankomah.

“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.

He also requested that others present at the studio, including Fada Dickson and Despite, join him in apologizing to Ankomah.

During a court session on July 31, it was revealed that both parties had reached a settlement. Martha Ankomah’s legal representative, Nii Apatu Plange, informed the court of this development, leading to a brief adjournment 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 case is now set to resume on August 26, 2024, to complete the settlement process.
