The mother of award-winning Ghanaian singer Wendy Shay has cautioned young women against imitating her daughter’s on-stage fashion choices without understanding the demands of the entertainment industry.
Speaking in an interview, she explained that Wendy Shay’s often daring stage costumes are strictly part of her performance craft and do not reflect her off-stage personality.
“My daughter is not into nudity. She wears what she wears on stage because the craft demands it. However, after the stage, she is a decent girl. So I will urge young ladies to rather focus on the real Wendy Shay after the stage and learn from that rather than learn from what she wears on stage,” she said.
She added that while some people have criticised Wendy Shay for her bold fashion sense, the singer remains disciplined and grounded in her personal life — a quality she believes young women should emulate instead.
Expressing pride in her daughter’s achievements, Wendy Shay’s mother said the artist has worked hard to fulfil her dreams and make a name for herself in Ghana’s music industry.
