RuffTown Records artiste, Wendy Shay, has disclosed some of the challenges that female artistes in Ghana face.
Talking about the male-dominated music industry in Ghana, the singer asserted that women in the industry are mostly ignored and rejected.
Apart from a lack of investors and opportunities, Wendy Shay said many female artistes face discrimination and harassment from their male colleagues.
“This is a male-dominated industry where women are mostly overlooked, and there is this stereotype that makes women feel rejected. And the funny thing is, it’s not even just we not having investors in the industry, we get rejected by our male counterparts,” she said on the New Day show on TV3.
According to her, some male artistes demand s3x in exchange for collaborations with female artistes.
“Sometimes when we want to have a feature, you see them do it for normal male upcoming artistes. But let’s say an established female artistes would like to have a feature from another male artistes, they want to be s3xual,” Shay alleged.
