Wendy Shay Dismisses Rift Rumors With Lasmid, Teases New Collaborative Hit

Ghanaian Afropop star Wendy Shay has put to rest lingering speculation of tension between herself and fellow musician Lasmid, insisting their viral moment was taken completely out of context and revealing that the duo is already preparing to release another joint hit.

The controversy erupted in late September 2026 during promotional activities for their upbeat collaboration, “Bendova,” after a video clip surfaced showing Wendy Shay removing Lasmid’s hand from her thigh while seated together on a couch. The brief exchange quickly went viral, sparking intense social media debate and memes, with many netizens suggesting the moment had embarrassed Lasmid and strained their professional relationship.

Addressing the uproar, the RuffTown Records signee clarified that there is zero animosity between them. According to Wendy Shay, the gesture was purely practical—she simply needed to adjust her posture on the chair to sit comfortably for the camera—and she only felt comfortable moving his hand because of the genuine rapport they share.

“What happened between Lasmid and me was blown out of proportion,” she maintained, emphasizing that critics blew a harmless behind-the-scenes moment into unnecessary drama. Reinforcing that their bond remains solid—further evidenced by their warm reunion at Sarkodie’s Rapperholic concert in Kumasi—Wendy Shay assured fans that they are on great terms and actively planning to drop another banger together.

By shifting focus back to their musical chemistry, Wendy Shay hopes to move past the online gossip and build on the momentum of “Bendova,” leaving fans eager for what the hitmaking pair will deliver next.
