Ghanaian actor Van Vicker has reportedly sued fellow actor Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as Lil Win, for defamation, seeking GH¢10 million in exemplary damages.
According to court documents, Van Vicker is asking the court to declare that statements made by Lil Win in a video were defamatory and had damaged his reputation.
The actor is also seeking general damages, a retraction of the alleged defamatory statements, and a public apology from Lil Win.
As part of the reliefs being sought, Van Vicker wants the apology to be published on news portals for four consecutive weeks.
The lawsuit adds a new dimension to the relationship between the two well-known figures in Ghana’s movie industry, who have both contributed to the country’s entertainment scene through acting and filmmaking.
Van Vicker is one of Ghana’s recognised screen actors, known for his roles in both Ghanaian and Nigerian movies, while Lil Win has built a name for himself through acting, comedy and film production.
The case could draw significant attention within the entertainment industry, particularly as public disagreements between celebrities increasingly become subjects of discussion on social media.
However, the claims outlined in the court documents remain allegations to be determined through the legal process. The court’s eventual decision will establish whether the statements in question were defamatory and what remedies, if any, should be granted.
Further details about the circumstances surrounding the alleged statements and LilWin’s response to the lawsuit were not provided in the information available.
