Why is filling O2 and winning Grammy the standard?… Wendy Shay queries

Ghanaian songstress, Wendy Asiamah Addo, known in Showbiz as Wendy Shay has waded into the O2 Arena brouhaha.

Some Ghanaian music lovers turned the heat on musicians in the country after Nigeria’s rising star, Asake filled the O2 Arena in UK to the rafters for his concert.

Most of these music lovers labelled the Ghanaian artiste as not working hard and compared successes they have chalked to their Nigerian counterparts.

After days of conversations on various platforms by some industry players, Wendy Shay has broken her silence on the matter with a tweet.

” Why is filling 02 and winning Grammy become the standard to measure the success of an Artist?,” She queried in a tweet on Monday, August 28.

According to her, Bob Marley and Tupac were successful, yet, they didn’t win a Grammy.

“Bob Marley and 2Pac are successful musicians but never won a Grammy.
Let Ghanaian musicians breathe !
Ghana wake up!,” Wendy Shay added.

Many industry stakeholders have called for the need to put in place the right mechanisms for Ghanaian musicians to thrive internationally.
