In a TikTok video sighted by YEN.com.gh on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, the evangelist played a recent video of Hopeson Adorye threatening to take action against her for using his wife Empress Gifty's "Noko fine" catchphrase.

She continued her verbal attacks on Empress Gifty and her husband. She challenged the politician to take whatever action he wanted against her.

Agradaa stated that she had no intention to stop mentioning the United Showbiz host's catchphrase, which she claimed she had gazetted.

Evangelist Mama Pat dared Hopeson Adorye to follow up on his previous threat to get her arrested by the Ghana Police Service if she mentioned his and his wife's names on social media or any public grounds.

She also criticised Empress Gifty's husband for inciting supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) party to violently assault her if she visited the acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of GoldBod, Samuel Gyamfi's office to return the $800 she received from him during their encounter at Prophet Nigel Gaisie's father's one-week observation on Saturday, May 10, 2025.

The televangelist also hurled several insults at the former New Patriotic Party (NPP) executive.
