Actor Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as Lilwin, seems unfazed by the defamation lawsuit filed against him by fellow actress Martha Ankomah.
Taking to Instagram to address the legal action, LilWin shared a video featuring the Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Asiedu Nketia, explaining his famous “every idiot can go to court” remark made in 2012.
In the video, Asiedu Nketia emphasized that being sued does not equate to guilt of the alleged offense.
“As the final arbiter of the law, the Court is charged with ensuring the Ghanaian people the promise of equal justice under the law and, thereby, also functions as guardian and interpreter of the Constitution. Movie is my Life. Long live Ghana Movie. Thus me #Lilwin #wezzyempire,” LilWin captioned the post.
In Martha Ankomah’s lawsuit, she alleged that LilWin had made disparaging comments against her.
LilWin’s criticism of the actress stems from an interview Martha Ankomah gave in 2017, where she commented on the declining quality of recent Kumawood movies.
He remarked, “Martha, those who are richer than you are rather humble and respect themselves a lot. Do you honestly call yourself a star? Who knows you? What do you have?
“I don’t even know why GTP bypassed the likes of McBrown, Mercy Asiedu and co, and made Martha Ankomah their brand ambassador. The likes of Van Vicker, Roselyn Ngissah and co, do not do these things. They even work with us. They shoot Kumawood movies. I’m still amazed that you made such statements, were you drunk?” LilWin stated.
These remarks led to the defamation lawsuit against LilWin, who has yet to formally respond to the legal action.
