Martha Ankomah sues LilWin over recent comment against her personality2 min read
Actress Martha Ankomah has reportedly filed a lawsuit against actor LilWin over his recent comments about her on social media
LilWin had strongly criticized his colleagues, singling out Martha Ankomah, for what he perceived as disparaging comments about Kumawood movies. He specifically attacked Ankomah for her remarks about the declining quality of recent Kumawood movies during interviews in 2017 and 2023.
“I love their storylines and they used to have really good movies like Kumasi Yonkuo, but of late, most of their movies portray witchcraft and that does not motivate me to shoot with them,” she stated in her interview with Hitz FM.
However, the topic surrounding Martha Ankomah’s statements popped up while LilWin was slamming Dr. Likee’s camp after one of his [LilWin] actresses defected to the stables of Akabenezer.
The said actress, Mimi, has recently been granting interviews throwing jabs at LilWin, who has in turn resorted to attacking anyone who has ever downplayed his efforts including Martha Ankomah.
He said: “Martha, those who are richer than you are rather humble and respect themselves a lot. Do you honestly call yourself a star? Who knows you? What do you have?
“I don’t even know why GTP bypassed the likes of McBrown, Mercy Asiedu and co, and made Martha Ankomah their brand ambassador. The likes of Van Vicker, Roselyn Ngissah and co, do not do these things. They even work with us. They shoot Kumawood movies. I’m still amazed that you made such statements, were you drunk?”
He continued, “Patience Ozorkwor came to Kumasi to shoot a movie. Aki and Pawpaw, Mr. Ibu and the rest came down to shoot a movie here. But for people like you, who call yourselves refined actors; how many times do these Nigerians come to Ghana to shoot movies? They are the ones who rather send for you guys.”
In response to LilWin’s criticisms, Martha Ankomah has taken legal action, filing a defamation lawsuit against the actor. The lawsuit, issued on February 14, 2024, summons LilWin to court to explain his comments. The legal move comes as a response to what Ankomah deems as damaging and defamatory statements made against her by the actor.
