Attorney-at-law Charles “Advoket” Ganga-Singh, who is defending ska legend Derrick Morgan in a defamation lawsuit, “Derrick Morgan’s daughter, Ventrice Morgan, has been properly served with the relevant documents and we will be pursuing this matter in court with the utmost rigor.”
According to an affidavit of service, Ventrice Morgan received legal documents on Monday, October 14, at a gym located on Kings House Road in Kingston. Despite her acrimonious response, she quietly took the documents that were served to her by a process server.
Ifrica made accusations against Derrick Morgan in 2023, which the singer’s family said caused him to suffer reputational harm. The family launched a defamation action against Morgan in June of this year.
Queen Ifrica had been served, according to Merrick Morgan, the 83-year-old ska singer’s son, who also said he had given lawyer Ganga-Singh instructions to “pursue the matter vigorously.”
Merrick Morgan gave an affirmative response, “Now that she has finally been located after weeks of searching, we will be vigorously pursuing this case to clear my father’s reputation of these terrible and malicious allegations.”
Several purportedly disparaging remarks, recordings, and interviews from August 1, 2023, are the reason behind Morgan’s lawsuit against his daughter.
The document states, “The defendant made several defamatory statements, videos and participated in several interviews hurling defamatory comments about the claimant, published such defamatory statements, videos, and interviews and made said defamatory statements available to the public for posting, reposting, republication.”
“Consequently, the claimant has suffered serious injury to his character and reputation, and incurred financial loss and damages.”
Queen Ifrica disclosed on social media in August 2023 that in childhood, she was alienated from Margon because of problems with her mother. But when she was an adult, she made an effort to get back in touch with him.
Queen Ifrica went into graphic detail about a supposed event that happened decades ago in Derrick Morgan’s Kingston home.
Morgan’s attorney demanded in a cease-and-desist letter to Queen Ifrica that the video be taken down immediately, shortly after it was posted on social media. Rather, months later, according to the lawsuit, Ifrica released another video, disparaging Derrick Morgan, and posted false information about him on social media.
