The two showbiz personalities have been trading blows over the past several weeks against the backdrop of Empress Gifty’s Gh₵ 20 million defamation lawsuit.

Agradaa, founder and leader of the Heaven Way Church, turned up the heat recently after their first court date, when her lawyer filed a motion to dismiss the case.

In her latest attack against the Watch Me singer, the controversial preacher dragged in Empress Gifty’s late mother, Agnes Aba Annan, popularly known as Agaga.

Nana Agradaa claimed that the name 'Agaga' was derived from her name and said that when the gospel singer called on her mother's spirit, Agradaa was called on.

"Agaga is my name. Agradaa is what she changed to Agaga. So whenever you call on the spirit of Agaga, it's me you're summoning," she said.

The preacher also insinuated that her nemesis had a hand in her late mother’s death and lobbed new accusations concerning her alleged infidelity.

The TikTok video of Nana Agradaa dragging Empress Gifty's mother into their beef is below.

Empress Gifty and Nana Agradaa’s beef kicked off when the singer’s husband, politician Hopeson Adorye, took aim at the preacher in the wake of the Sammy Gyamfi dollar gift scandal.

The evangelist hit back at his wife in response, alleging that she was having affairs to fund her lavish lifestyle, prompting the gospel singer to file a GH₵20 million defamation lawsuit.

Background of Empress Gifty

Gifty Oppong Adorye, popularly known as Empress Gifty, is a popular Ghanaian gospel singer, entrepreneur in the fashion space, and media person. Gifty is best known for her songs like "Aseda" and "Fefeefe" and released "Watch Me" in 2024, written by Kuami Eugene.

YEN.com.gh, covered her cosmetic transformation; Gifty underwent a facelift, body lift, and drastic loss of weight. Gifty seemingly embraced makeup and beauty-enhancing procedures and education since posting that "God creates and luxury maintains". The site also covered Gifty's response to critics, defending the biblical nature of makeup with Queen Esther as biblical precedent for women's beautification.

Her unsettling legal entanglement has been much covered with the televangelist Nana Agradaa. In May 2025, she filed a GH₵20 million defamation suit against Agradaa for spreading defamatory and slanderous allegations, and the situation has deteriorated. Gifty issued a spiritual warning after Agradaa verbally attacked her late mother, Agaga, before departing for Europe amid the controversy.

Yen.com.gh also aired videos of Gifty energetically dancing to Baba's rhythm on United Showbiz with Bullgod, breeding speculation about her public role as the "Princess of Ghana" and a video of Gifty appearing unbothered, burning incense in her house in the wake of her court appearance. All this demonstrates that, through her music, fashion, public chit-chat culture, and legal motions, Empress Gifty still captivates Ghanaian media.

Empress Gifty serves Gobɛ by the roadside

While serving, she asked customers how they preferred their gobɛ - while some wanted to enjoy it with rice, others preferred a little or a lot of either palm oil or gari.

The video she posted was a promotional spot for her UTV television show, UCook, in which Empress Gifty hosts celebrities and other prominent people to cook.
