Ghanaian singer Wendy Shay has said that she cannot be compared to any other female artiste except American iconic singer Beyoncé.
The hitmaker of ‘Survivor’ disclosed that she accepted the title ‘Queen of Ghana music’ to identify herself as the “best” among her female musicians because her fans claimed she was exceptional.
“First of all, the Queen of Ghana Music was a title my fans gave me,” Wendy Shay told 3Music. “And who doesn’t appreciate good things? They gave me that title, and I was like, ‘If they see me as the queen of Ghana music’, I will take it.”
“That right there was to confirm the fact that, yeah, I have accepted that title because my fans gave it to me,” she said.
She added that everyone has the right to choose whatever name they wish to call themselves.
“I believe that everyone has the right to call themselves whatever they want. I think as far as giving ourselves a title, everybody is entitled to do so. And I believe that everyone is a queen. All of the other female artistes are queens.
“But I was talking about myself, so they can also call themselves queens. I never mentioned anyone’s name. I was just making a statement and affirming the fact that my fans have given me that title,” she added.
