Forgive me - LilWin begs Martha Ankomah amid legal battle

Kumawood actor, Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as LilWin, has publicly asked his colleague, Martha Ankomah, to forgive him for his actions that have led to a legal dispute.

He clarified that he never intended to insult Martha deliberately over their misunderstanding, which has affected his public image.

LilWin acknowledged his mistakes and expressed his desire for Martha to forgive him, hoping to resolve their legal issues for advancement of the movie industry.

"Martha is my sister and colleague. Disputes are natural, but they need to be resolved. No one is above apology; even the president apologises when he is wrong. Sometimes, the way bloggers report issues isn't accurate because I would never insult Martha. Yet, such claims were made.

"So, if I said anything that offended her or she disliked, we are all human, and she should forgive me. I have also forgiven her because it's work. We want the movie industry to progress, not be filled with hatred," he told MzGee in Twi during the United Showbiz programme aired on UTV on August 3, 2024.

Meanwhile, Martha Ankomah has denied reports that LilWin approached her for an out-of-court settlement.

How it started

Actress Martha Ankomah filed a defamation lawsuit against LilWin following his disparaging remarks about her in a viral video.

Ankomah claims LilWin's statements damaged her reputation and that of the textile brand GTP.

She is seeking GH¢5 million in damages, an apology, a retraction, and an injunction against further defamatory statements.

The lawsuit stems from LilWin's response to Ankomah's comments on Accra FM, where she expressed interest in collaborating with Kumawood actors due to their storylines.

In his response video, LilWin insulted the actress, leading to the lawsuit.
