Ghanaian songstress Wendy Shay has asked that her colleagues in Ghana should learn music trade secrets from their Nigerian counterparts. In an earlier post where she credited Nigerians for putting Africa on the international music market, Tic Tac admonished her to stick to issues at her level of insight.
Wendy Shay’s new Facebook post shows that she is not deterred by the subtle jab at her intelligence as she reinforces her message.
She wrote, ” Give Nigerian artistes their flowers for bringing the world’s attention to Africa through Afrobeats and you people vex?”
Wendy Shay continued to lay out her reasons for exalting Nigerian music, fully aware of the rivalry between the two industries.
“I will say it again. Let’s swallow our pride, go to them and ask them how they did it. They might show us the road. God is using me to speak to you. You People, no wan listen. Ghana, wake up!”
Afrobeats is fast gaining ground in other cultures as numerous songs dominate Boomplay, Spotify and Apple charts. The genre, believed to have originated in Nigeria, has seen a lot of international acts joining the trend with features.
Wendy Shay’s earlier post read, “Ghanaian Artistes Should thank Nigerians artistes for bringing the world’s attention to Africa through Afrobeats. Ghana, wake up!”
