Ghanaian singer Wendy Shay has disclosed that some male artistes in the music industry reject featuring requests from female musicians.
Speaking in an interview on TV3’s special edition of International Women’s Day, Wendy Shay highlighted some challenges facing the female musicians in the industry.
She stressed that some male musicians at a point demand sex when female artistes approach them for features.
“This is a male dominated industry where women are mostly overlooked. There is this rejection on the path of women. We actually get rejection from our male counterparts when we really want to have a featuring.
“You see them feature a normal male upcoming artiste but an established female artiste would like to have a feature from another male artiste and they want to be sexual so these are some of the things that women face and have to go through in the industry,” she stated.
In her quest to support up and coming female artistes, Wendy Shay said “I use my platform to push and encourage them. Post their videos and all. I wish I could do more which I would financially.
