Ghanaian singer Wendy Asiamah Addo, popularly known as Wendy Shay, has opened up about why she is currently single.
Speaking in an interview on Joy Prime on October 29, 2025, the ‘Survivor’ hitmaker said that her decision to remain single stems from her inability to easily trust people.
“I’m single, well, because I feel like when I came to the industry, things happened so fast that it’s sometimes hard for me to trust. I have trust issues,” she said.
According to Wendy Shay, her experiences in the music industry have shaped how she views relationships and the kind of partner she desires.
“I’ve grown to understand that there’s more to life than appearance. I’m really such a soul fixed person. He has to be involved in my vision, and he needs to understand where I’m going because I need someone to understand the work I’m doing,” she stated.

She noted that her partner must understand the nature of her job as a performer and not be insecure about what she does on stage.
“When I go on stage and I’m twerking, he needs to understand that it’s show business. I know men are very jealous, so he has to understand that what I’m doing is part of the work, and I’m just doing what I’m supposed to do. When I come home, I’m your woman,” she shared.
Wendy Shay also emphasised that spiritual connection is very important to her in a relationship.
“I also need someone who will be there for me spiritually. Be my head, cover me with prayers. I’m not really so fixed on money because I believe in building something together,” she added.
