Controversial Ghanaian televangelist Patricia Asiedua, widely known as Agradaa, has declared her intention to bring an end to the marriage of Hopeson Adorye and gospel singer Empress Gifty.
In a video shared online, Agradaa claimed to possess damning evidence that, if presented in court, would compel the couple to file for divorce. She confidently asserted that her proof would substantiate allegations of infidelity against Empress Gifty, which she had previously made.
“I know the law very well. It demands that if you make an allegation, you must be able to prove it. And I will prove it in court. The evidence I will present will end your marriage. If I couldn’t prove it, I wouldn’t have made the claim. I am telling you the truth—Hopeson Adorye, it will shock you.”

Her threats come in the wake of an ongoing public feud between her and the couple. Tensions have escalated since Hopeson Adorye, a former member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), criticised Agradaa for receiving a dollar gift from opposition politician Sammy Gyamfi.
The friction intensified on 20 May 2025 when Empress Gifty filed a lawsuit against the Ghanaian televangelist, accusing her of defamation.
In a counteraction, the televangelist submitted a petition to both the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) and the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), requesting action against Hopeson Adorye for allegedly inciting violence against her on live television.
Agradaa claimed she has been living in fear ever since, stating that she chose not to respond immediately to the alleged incitement because she was waiting for the right opportunity to retaliate.
In a follow-up video, she explained her decision to challenge the couple legally and reiterated her determination to dismantle their marriage using the evidence she claims to possess.
“They made their move, and now it’s my turn. I’m fully prepared to meet Empress Gifty in court. I will make sure this marriage ends.”

The saga continues to stir intense debate on social media, with Ghanaians divided over the morality and legality of Agradaa’s claims and the broader implications of public feuds being litigated in courtrooms.
Netizens who saw Agradaa’s comment expressed mixed reactions in the comments section. Many Ghanaians laughed over the post while others were convinced that she had the evidence.
“If I can remember, there was a prophecy that Gifty was gonna lose her second marriage. I just can’t remember who and where I saw that video.”

Agradaa Defends Husband’s Court Document Discard
Agradaa responded to a viral video showing her husband discarding a court summons, stating that he had every right to do so because he was not the intended recipient.
The incident followed Agradaa’s appearance before the Tema High Court on May 26, 2025, in connection with a GH¢20 million defamation lawsuit filed by gospel singer Empress Gifty. The lawsuit stems from public remarks made by the televangelist that Gifty claims damaged her reputation.
After their initial court appearance, a video circulated online capturing the moment Agradaa and her husband, Asiamah, exited the premises, only for the husband to drop the court summons onto the ground.
Reacting to the video, Agradaa explained that the document should not have been handed to her husband in the first place. She argued that because he was not directly involved in the case, he was within his rights to dispose of the summons.
According to the controversial televangelist, her husband had informed court officers that he was not the correct recipient when they attempted to serve him.
She also took the opportunity to address Empress Gifty and her husband, Hopeson Adorye, promising to face them in court. She dismissed the service of the writ to her spouse as improper and irrelevant to the case, emphasizing that she alone is the subject of the legal action.
