Agradaa used one of Kevin Taylor's old videos, in which he criticised Hopeson Adorye, in the ongoing feud.

However, Kevin Taylor, founder of Loud Silence Media and host of the With All Due Respect show, was unhappy, cautioning Nana Agradaa against involving him in her fight with the gospel singer and Hopeson Adorye.

Reacting to this, the controversial evangelist acknowledged that she had indeed used Taylor's content without obtaining the necessary permissions.

In her apology, she expressed regret for any inconvenience or distress her actions may have caused the US-based journalist.

"He's right to make that disclaimer because the content belongs to Kevin Taylor. When it comes to the law, you cannot take someone's content without the person's knowledge or permission. So, yes, I used his content when I came live recently," she said.

Nana Agradaa also commended Kevin Taylor, known for his fiery exposés on corruption in Ghana's political and social circles, for the maturity with which he issued the disclaimer and cautioned against the use of his content.
