Oboy Siki made the alleged derogatory remarks during an interview with Ghpage, where he questioned his colleagues' role in football management as well as his bedroom life, alleging that Yaw Dabo was battling infertility and could not give birth.
The veteran actor claimed that his colleague had also insulted President John Dramani Mahama.
Yaw Dabo then filed the defamation suit against Oboy Siki, demanding GH₵1 million in damages, with the first appearance in the case coming on February 23, 2026.
A couple of viral videos showed the duo with some Kumawood stars, including Sumsum Ahuofe, at the High Court in Kumasi as the legal proceedings unfolded.
It later emerged that the court had adjourned for the parties to discuss a possible out-of-court settlement.

Yaw Dabo, Oboy Siki settle their case
Less than 48 hours later, Yaw Dabo has reportedly agreed to withdraw the suit against Oboy Siki, after the Ashanti Regional Minister intervened.
In a video that emerged after they met with Dr Frank Amoakohene, the two explained that they were no longer going to pursue the court case.
Oboy Siki retracted his claims against Yaw Dabo and apologised unreservedly for any inconvenience caused him by his personal remarks.
He mentioned his colleague's football academy, and admitted to seeking his advice before, and also stated that he had never heard the diminutive actor speak against President Mahama before.

He explained that he only made those allegations because he wanted to create a social media banter with Yaw Dabo, and since the latter was not interested, he had withdrawn every statement.
"I have already apologised to Dabo before Frank [Dr Amoakohene], but let me state it here that all I said was not true and was said out of anger," he told bloggers outside the court.
Moments after addressing bloggers, Oboy Siki approached Yaw Dabo, shook his hand, and asked him to confirm if he had forgiven him.
The latter confirmed that everything had been settled through the intervention of the regional minister and other prominent people who called him earlier.

Oboy Siki should repent after Dabo case
In an interview with YEN.com.gh, TV3's Owusu Worae shared his thoughts on the news that Yaw Dabo and Oboy Siki had settled the case, chiding the veteran actor to change his ways.
According to Worae, Oboy Siki, who is well over 70 years old, should know how to behave when he is allowed to speak on TV.
"You've now publicly admitted to intentionally lying about multiple colleagues for attention. That's not "being controversial", it's being harmful. Please get help, whether that's anger management, media training, or both," he said..
Lil Win gets Oboy Siki arrested
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Lil Win got Oboy Siki arrested after allegedly making defamatory statements against him.
The Kumawood actor alleged that the A Country Called Ghana star traded sexual favours for movie roles for female actresses.
Lil Win, who had earlier told ZionFelix that he would not pursue the case, decided to take action and had Oboy Siki arrested.
