\"Wendy <\/a>Wendy Shay is a Ghanaian singer<\/p>\n

Ghanaian songstress <\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>Wendy Shay<\/a> has addressed the trending video involving a Russian man and some Ghanaian women, calling for empathy and unity instead of harsh criticism.<\/p>\n

Speaking on stage during a performance on February 16, 2026, <\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>Wendy Shay<\/a> paused to share her thoughts on the matter, which has since generated intense debate on social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe we\u2019ve all seen some videos trending on social media that involved a Russian and some Ghanaian girls. I\u2019m not condoning what the women did, but I want to draw your attention to something,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

According to the singer, the incident reflects deep-rooted perceptions ingrained in many Africans from childhood.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat happened was a result of what our grandparents and our parents kept in our minds. They made us feel like `white\u2019 people or foreigners are more human than we the blacks. What happened to the women could actually happen to anyone at all,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>Wendy Shay<\/a> appealed to the public to tone down the criticism directed at the women involved.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m pleading that you should minimize criticizing them because they\u2019re also humans. I feel this is the time that we can all come together and arrest the man.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think his mission was to make people have the perception that African women are cheap, but we are not cheap,\u201d she shared.<\/p>\n

She further urged Ghanaians to support the women emotionally rather than shame them publicly.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is due to what we were fed on since childhood, so we should all come together to help these women heal,\u201d <\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>Wendy Shay<\/a> added.<\/p>\n
