The two actors appeared before an Accra High Court with their legal teams on Tuesday, February 25, 2025, to finalise the settlement terms after Martha Ankomah recently rejected her colleague's public apology.
After a lengthy court session, Lil Win finally agreed to terms with his former colleague to settle the lawsuit and bring the case to a conclusion after more than a year of legal tussling.
In a series of videos sighted by YEN.com.gh, the Kumawood actor was spotted making a phone call and looking concerned as he left the premises of the Accra High Court with his manager, Okyeame.
Martha Ankomah, on the other hand, beamed with a smile as she conversed with her legal team in front of the court after the agreement with Lil Win was reached, bringing the matter to a close.
Lil Win and Martha Ankomah's defamation case
Martha Ankomah filed a GH₵5 million defamation suit against Lil Win on Valentine's Day, February 14, 2024, after the Kumawood actor allegedly made some derogatory remarks about her in a video.

In the video, Lil Win angrily alleged that Ankomah told movie director Frank Fiifi Gharbin that the Kumawood industry did not produce sensible movies, and dismissed any chances of her working with any Kumasi-based actor.
He lashed out at her in the video and rained insults on her, furiously slamming her for being disrespectful, noting that even top actors had worked in Kumawood. He ridiculed the actress as being irrelevant since the movie industry's decline.
After being served with the lawsuit, Lil Win made several attempts to convince the actress to drop the case by apologising. However, Martha Ankomah rejected the apology and proceeded with the case in court.
The actor's team then sought an out-of-court settlement but the actress declined, wanting the matter heard. Later, she even denied that Lil Win or his lawyers had approached her and her team about settling the matter.
