Lil Win has been fined GH¢10,000 by the Supreme Court for alleged disrespect against the Apex Court amid his case with Martha Ankomah.
This comes after actress Martha Ankomah sued him for GH₵5 million at the High Court in Accra and later settled; however, the actor reportedly refused to honour the agreement over the next few months and attempted new legal manoeuvrings to delay the case.
He was supposed to present an apology to the judge on April 1, 2025, for approval as part of the settlement, but neither he nor his legal team showed up.
This led the High Court to issue Lil Win a final warning on April 15 to appear before the court or face consequences, but he subsequently filed other legal challenges, leading the case to end up at the Supreme Court.
Failing to honour the terms of the High Court settlement, Lil Win filed a case challenging the jurisdiction of the case taking place in Accra instead of Kumasi.
After his motion was dismissed, he filed for a stay of proceedings at the Appeal Court pending his appeal of that decision, which was also dismissed.
He took his stay of proceedings case to the Supreme Court, with the court date set for March 31, 2026.
Reports suggest that neither Lil Win nor his lawyers showed up for the case, angering the Supreme Court panel, who ruled to award costs of GH¢10,000 to the plaintiffs, describing Lil Win’s conduct as disrespectful.
The actor's no-show came after reportedly making progress in reaching another settlement with Martha Ankomah amid their long-running case.
