The renowned actress said both parties and the judge would assess the apology before it is released publicly and before a final decision would be made in the case.

Martha Ankomah said she was interested in a public apology and a retraction and not any financial compensation as suggested by several media outlets. She stated that she would only take money from her colleague to cover her legal fees.

She said:

"I sued him for GH₵5 million. I wouldn't take anything from him. Maybe what I will take from him will be our legal cost but I don't want anything from him. I don't want a dime from him. I just want him to do the right thing so that people will know that you can't just do things and get away with it in this country."

She noted that it was unacceptable for celebrities to portray themselves as role models for the young generation and go ahead to publicly disparage and make unsubstantiated allegations against others they have not met or communicated with before.

Martha Ankomah reiterated that she wanted the legal case to serve as a lesson for others and that she would bring the issue to an end if Lil Win expressed sincere remorse for the alleged unsavoury remarks against her.

The actress noted that the previous public apologies Lil Win made were insincere and that he failed to retract the disparaging statements. She added that the actor even received backlash from many Ghanaians on social media.

Martha Ankomah's remarks come after news recently emerged that Lil Win reached an agreement with her to settle their GH₵5 million defamation suit after appearing before an Accra High Court with their legal teams on Tuesday, February 25, 2025.

Both parties appeared before the judge to finalise the settlement terms after Martha Ankomah recently rejected her colleague's public apology.
