Ghanaian singer, Wendy Addo, popularly known as Wendy Shay, has opened up about how some male artistes in the country treat female artistes.
The RuffTown Records artiste disclosed some of the challenges that female artistes in Ghana are facing.
Tagging the Ghana music industry as a male-dominated one, the ‘Heaven’ singer averred women in the industry are mostly ignored and rejected.
While they lack investors and opportunities, Shay bemoaned many female artistes face discrimination and harassment from their male colleagues.
“This is a male-dominated industry where women are mostly overlooked, and there is this stereotype that makes women feel rejected. And the funny thing is, it’s not even just we not having investors in the industry, we get rejected by our male counterparts,” she stated on the New Day show on TV3.
Wendy Shay further alleged that some male artistes request s£x in exchange for collaborations with female artistes.
“Sometimes when we want to have a feature, you see them do it for normal male upcoming artistes. But let’s say an established female artistes would like to have a feature from another male artistes, they want to be s3xual.”
