Male musicians demand sex before collaborating with female artists – Wendy Shay

Ghanaian songstress Wendy Shay recently opened up about a prevalent issue in the music industry, revealing that some male artists are reluctant to collaborate with their female counterparts.

During an interview on TV3’s special International Women’s Day segment, Shay shed light on the challenges faced by female musicians.

According to Shay, female artists often encounter rejection when seeking collaborations with male counterparts.

She emphasized that some male musicians even go as far as requesting sexual favors in exchange for features, highlighting the gender disparities within the industry.

“This is a male-dominated industry where women are mostly overlooked,” Shay lamented. “We actually get rejection from our male counterparts when we really want to have a featuring.”

Despite these hurdles, Shay remains committed to supporting emerging female talents, using her platform to showcase their work and provide encouragement. However, she expressed a desire to do more, acknowledging the financial constraints that limit her efforts.

In light of her experiences, Shay offered advice to aspiring female artists, urging them to focus on developing their skills and adding value to themselves.

By empowering women to build their potentials, Shay hopes to foster a more inclusive and equitable music industry where talent and merit reign supreme.
