Before her 15-year imprisonment for charlatanic advertisement and defrauding by false pretence in July 2025, Agradaa was embroiled in a feud with Empress Gifty and her husband, Hopeson Adorye, for over a month.
The heated beef began after the gospel singer's husband admonished the embattled televangelist and made threats against her over the dollar gift controversy involving the acting GoldBod CEO, Sammy Gyamfi.
In response, the Heaven Way church founder slammed Hopeson and dragged his wife into their feud by disparaging her and making several allegations about their marriage and lifestyle.
Both camps traded subtle jabs at each other, with Empress Gifty filing a GH₵20 million defamation lawsuit against the embattled televangelist at the Tema High Court.
The Tema High Court later dismissed Agradaa's application to strike out a defamation lawsuit filed by the gospel musician against her, ruling that the application lacked merit and that the case against the former priestess needed to proceed.
The court awarded a cost of GH₵6,000 to Empress Gifty for what it described as undue delay caused by Agradaa's legal team.
Subsequently, the gospel musician filed another lawsuit against Agradaa on June 26, 2025, following her alleged claims that the Watch Me hitmaker was HIV-positive, a statement deemed defamatory by the musician.

Agradaa's legal counsel noted that her statements were false and lacked merit. They stated that the televangelist had retracted her statements against her rival.
The statement read:
"Our client's statements were made in the spur of the moment; however, they were taken literally to impute immorality and unchastity upon the character of Empress Gifty Oppong Adorye.
"It is now stated unequivocally that the allegations made by our client, as contained in the impugned publications, were false and completely without merit. Consequently, our client retracts every statement made therein."
Agradaa's lawyers also added that the imprisoned televangelist intended to apologise to Empress Gifty, her family, friends, and colleagues for the damage caused by her false statements.
