According to Wendy Shay, the lack of affection in the start of her career didn’t worry her because it motivated her to strive harder.
Wendy Shay recently spoke about her journey and the difficulties she faced on TV3’s New Day broadcast.
Wendy Shay, a Black woman, encountered racial prejudice while growing up in Germany. But when she went back to Ghana, her own country, she was shocked to experience the same treatment.

She said that she didn’t let the bad vibes affect her, which she acknowledged was a result of the grief and shock following Ebony’s passing and her subsequent signing with Ruff Town Records.
The ‘Habibi’ hitmaker noted that these events rather played in her favour since every artiste yearned for attention and she was privileged at the time to be getting that, whether it was good or bad.
Living in a country where I thought racism was a thing, I raised my eyebrows when I got the same treatment from people.
“But also came at the right time for my career. Everything that I had achieved is very pivotal on the time I came into the industry.
“It is every artiste’s prayer to get attention and I got the attention whether good or bad, and given that opportunity, I didn’t play with it. When life throws lemon at you, you just make lemonades,” she stated
