Defamation Is Not Freedom Of Expression – Van Vicker To LilWin

Actor, Van Vicker, has stated that “defamation is not freedom of expression” following his decision to sue fellow actor, Lil Win, for alleged defamatory comments.

In a Facebook post accompanying a writ of summons confirming the legal action, Van Vicker said the matter is now before the court and that he will let the law take its course.

“My reputation matters, and I stand by the pursuit of justice,” he added.

Van Vicker is seeking GH¢10 million in damages over comments Lil Win made about their disagreement on a movie project.

In the suit dated October 10, 2026, he also asks the court to order Lil Win to publish an apology and retraction on news portals for four consecutive weeks, and to pay legal costs.

The action follows a video in which Lil Win accused Van Vicker of failing to fulfil his responsibilities on a film production and ignoring calls from the production team. Van Vicker denies the allegations, arguing that they portray him as dishonest and unprofessional and could damage his reputation.
