Nana Agradaa Issues Formal Apology and Retracts All False Claims Made Against Empress Gifty

Ghana’s entertainment space has seen its fair share of controversies, but one of the biggest stories of 2025 has taken a surprising turn. Evangelist Patricia Asiedua, widely known as Nana Agradaa or Mama Pat, has officially apologized to celebrated gospel musician Empress Gifty Oppong Adorye after months of tension between the two.

This public apology has shocked many Ghanaians, especially because Agradaa is known for her bold personality and outspoken nature. However, in a detailed statement released through her lawyers, she admitted that the allegations she made earlier this year were false, unfounded, and deeply regrettable.

This article breaks down everything you need to know from how the issue started, what prompted the apology, and how people are reacting.

The drama began in May 2025 when Nana Agradaa went on social media to make several serious allegations about Empress Gifty. Her comments quickly went viral, causing heavy debate online. Many fans and industry players condemned the statements, describing them as disrespectful and damaging to the gospel singer’s reputation.

Agradaa claimed she was reacting to comments allegedly made by Hopeson Adorye, Empress Gifty’s husband. But in the heat of the moment, she ended up attacking Empress Gifty directly, making statements that painted the gospel musician in a negative light.

These statements were strong enough to spark anger among many Ghanaians especially those who respected Empress Gifty for her many years of dedication to gospel music, ministry work, and charity.

On 4th December 2025, Nana Agradaa finally released a formal apology through Agyaa Asamani Law Consult, the legal firm representing her. The letter, signed by her counsel Richard Asare Baffour, Esq., was clear and very direct.

According to the statement, all the defamatory publications and comments Nana Agradaa made earlier in the year were:
False
Unfounded
Made in anger
Not based on any evidence

The document explained that Agradaa now accepts that she misrepresented Empress Gifty’s character, especially by making statements that suggested immorality or unfaithfulness.

Her legal team emphasized strongly:

“It is now stated unequivocally that the allegations made by our client were false and completely without merit. Consequently, our client retracts every statement made therein.”

This means Nana Agradaa did not only apologize she officially canceled every negative claim she had made.

described the apology as “unqualified and sincere”, meaning she did not give excuses or try to justify her behavior.

The apology also recognized the emotional damage caused by the false accusations. Empress Gifty is not only a respected musician but also a mother, wife, and public figure with strong influence in the gospel industry. The allegations affected not just her, but her loved ones as well.

Nana Agradaa extended her apology to:
Empress Gifty’s family
Her friends
Her colleagues in the gospel music industry
All fans who were distressed by the attacks

This part of the apology is important because it acknowledges that harmful words spread far beyond the person they are directed at.

1. It Protects Empress Gifty’s Image

For someone who has built a strong and respectable brand in gospel music, false allegations can cause long-term damage. The retraction helps restore trust and clears her name fully.

2. It Encourages Responsibility Among Public Figures

Celebrities and influencers have powerful platforms. When they make claims without evidence, it can ruin lives. Agradaa’s apology sends a message that public figures must think before speaking.

3. It Promotes Peace in the Entertainment Industry

Drama may bring views and trends, but it destroys unity. This apology could calm tensions and encourage a healthier environment in Ghana’s entertainment space.

4. It Sets a Legal and Moral Example

Using lawyers to issue an official retraction shows that defamation is serious. It teaches everyone especially young content creators that words have consequences.

Social media is buzzing with mixed reactions.

Some people applaud Nana Agradaa for admitting she was wrong. They say it takes courage to apologize, especially when the whole nation is watching.

Others believe the apology came only because legal action was likely to follow. They argue that Agradaa has a long history of making harsh comments and later apologizing when the pressure becomes too much.

On the other hand, many fans of Empress Gifty are relieved and grateful. They feel justice has been served and their favorite gospel star has been vindicated.

A few gospel musicians have also shared their thoughts, praising Empress Gifty for staying calm throughout the entire controversy. Instead of fighting back online, she focused on her ministry and music and that silence spoke loudly.

For Empress Gifty, this apology is a major victory. It reinforces her reputation as a strong, respected, and disciplined figure in Ghana’s gospel community. Her decision to avoid responding to the negativity also shows maturity and emotional intelligence.

This situation may also remind the public why she remains one of the most admired figures in the gospel industry: she chooses peace over drama, focus over distraction, and grace over conflict.

This incident offers several lessons:

Words have power  use them wisely.
Social media is not a place for emotional reactions.
Conflict can be resolved respectfully when egos are put aside.
Apologizing does not make you weak  it shows growth.

If more public figures choose peace and accountability, Ghana’s entertainment industry will be a better and more positive space.

Nana Agradaa’s official apology and full retraction mark the end of a long and stressful controversy. By admitting that her statements about Empress Gifty were false and unjustified, she has taken an important step toward peace and healing.

Empress Gifty, on the other hand, has shown grace and wisdom throughout the saga, earning even more respect from fans and colleagues.

This moment serves as a reminder that truth always wins, and no matter how loud false accusations may be, the truth will always rise.
