In a video sighted by YEN.com.gh, the controversial televangelist, formerly a traditional worship priestess, showcased a business certificate reportedly obtained from the Registrar General's Department.

The business name on the certificate was NokoFine Petshop.

"The Noko is for me. It has been registered by the Registrar General. I'm waiting for the right time to damage you with it," Agradaa said as she taunted Empress Gifty.

The video emerged online after the televangelist's first day at the Tema High Court for the hearing in the defamation case against her by Empress Gifty.

Agradaa, in her tantrums, jabbed Empress Gifty's husband, Hopeson Adorye, tagging him as a candidate for her pet shop.

What happened between Agradaa and Empress Gifty?

The beefing celebrities and their husbands have consistently been at each other's throats on social media since May 2025.

The singer's husband, Hopeson Adorye, kicked off the beef during an interview on TV XYZ amid Agradaa's woes after meeting Ghanaian politician Sammy Gyamfi, who gifted her $800, an action which caused a storm and proceeded to become a hot political potato and the talk of the town.

Agradaa faced significant backlash, enough to make her declare that she would return the money to Sammy Gyamfi at his office.

Hopeson Adorye on national TV called on the National Democratic Congress (NDC) supporters to ambush Agradaa anytime she sets foot in Sammy Gyamfi's office to refund the controversial $800 gift she received from him.

Agradaa retaliated by targeting Empress Gifty, Hopeson's wife, accusing her of infidelity and having multiple affairs with men of God when she performed at their churches.

Empress Gifty, in her lawsuit against Agradaa, is seeking the sum of GH₵20 million from Agradaa for damages over alleged slander and libel.

She also wants Agradaa to pull down all online content within the scope of the defamation case and refrain from slandering her in the future.

Who is Nana Agradaa?

Nana Agradaa (born Patricia Asiedu Oduro Koranteng) is a controversial personality in Ghana who gained notoriety as a native priestess known for her “Sika Gari" money-doubling rituals. She operated a shrine, and ran two of her own television stations, Thunder TV, and Ice1 TV, in which she advocated for her spiritual wares and amassed huge followings. Agradaa made bold TV appearances while espousing her claims to spiritual power, and she quickly became an icon of the Ghanaian landscape.

In April of 2021, Agradaa was arrested by authorities for a variety of reasons, including the charge of running unlicensed TV stations and holding money-doubling schemes. She faced multiple charges including defrauding by false pretense because complainants asserted that she took significant amounts of money, in order to provide supernatural returns, that never materialized.

Shortly after her arrest, she hosted a press conference making the declaration that she was reborn, and now became a Christian evangelist. She was baptized and adopted the name Evangelist Patricia Oduro Koranteng wherein she indicated that she destroyed her idols and would abandon her old practices. However, nothing more than skepticism has followed her since her purported conversion and many Ghanaians, including powerful opposition voices like religious leadership, accuse her of false pretenses, deception, and manipulation.

As of now Nana Agradaa is still active in the media space through her new public religion, although she operates in controversy of her continued platform and distinct story from the media.

Empress Gifty's counsel speaks after first hearing

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Empress Gifty's lawyer had shared an update on the ongoing legal battle with Agradaa after their first day in court.

The lawyer stated that Agradaa had filed an application to dismiss Empress Gifty's GH₵20 million defamation lawsuit against her and end the legal battle. They argue that the televangelist only insulted his client and did not defame her in any way.

The lawyer established that Empress Gifty had filed an affidavit in opposition to the televangelist's application and is expecting the judge to move forward with the case after their second hearing on June 26.
