Wendy Shay reveals she won’t ditch music for marriage
Ghanaian singer-songwriter, Wendy Shay has made it quite obvious that she is committed to her music career, making it abundantly clear that she has no plans to relinquish it in the face of marriage.
This stands in contrast to some female artists who have chosen to step away from the industry after tying the knot.
Emphasizing her unwavering dedication, Wendy Shay stressed that she would not forsake her music career for any reason linked to marriage.
During an online discussion on Joy FM’s Twitter Spaces, she underscored that any prospective suitor interested in marrying her must align with her musical aspirations, as music is the cornerstone of her relevance in the world.
“I am not even thinking about marriage, because you know music is my destiny and that is what makes me relevant in this life and so I don’t think that I will trade something like that for marriage,”
“You should be in alignment with my destiny. If it’s just lovey-dovey and you just loving me and taking care of me, I don’t think that is enough for me to give you attention,” she added
She articulated that mere affection and providing for her would not suffice to win her affection. In her view, any man desiring a place in her life must also wholeheartedly back her music career, essentially integrating both facets of her existence.
During further conversations, she expounded on her recent song, ‘Every Man Cheats,’ revealing that it serves as a message of empowerment and encouragement to women. The song’s core message is to encourage women to stand firm and cease making sacrifices for men who ultimately betray their trust by cheating.
“The song is to make a statement that men are prone to cheat and no matter a woman’s status, beauty, or influence, men will still cheat so it’s about time women came to the realization and understand that keeping a man goes beyond big boobs and big buttocks.
I’ve seen many women lose their lives because they went under the knife thinking that would save their marriages or relationships and I think women should rather build their inner qualities rather than focus too much on their physical,”
She pushed for women to focus on developing their inner traits, which would eventually make them attractive and self-sufficient, rather than dependant on a man’s validation.
