Wendy Shay’s epic response to Ghanaians comparing her to Gyakie.
Ghanaian Afropop and Afrobeats singer Wendy Shay, known by her stage name, has addressed the constant comparisons between her and fellow artist Gyakie.
She emphasized the unfairness of drawing such comparisons and urged music enthusiasts to appreciate and celebrate each artist’s unique style and sound.
In recent discussions among music lovers and critics in Ghana, there has been debate over the similarities between Wendy Shay and Gyakie, with some suggesting that Gyakie has achieved greater international success.
Wendy Shay made it clear that these comparisons are futile because each artist has their distinct musical preferences and approaches to their craft.
She pointed out that she has consistently delivered hit songs for five years, establishing herself as an international artist in her own right.
“It’s not fair to even compare. You know, I have been doing and giving hit back-to-back for five years so there shouldn’t be any comparison. I am an international artiste as well, and I am working towards becoming a global artiste. The race is not for the swift; once you’re working hard and working on yourself, you are going to get wherever you put your mind to.”
She stressed the importance of hard work and determination in achieving success in the music industry, reaffirming her commitment to becoming an internationally recognized artist.
The “Survivor” hitmaker underscored the significance of allowing each artist to shine and be acknowledged for their talents. She pointed out that comparisons can be discouraging for artists and hinder their creative growth.
