Wendy Shay
Singer, Wendy Shay, has strongly denied rumours suggesting she underwent plastic surgery to enhance her body, particularly a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL).
In a post on X, the “Too Late” hitmaker declared that her curves are natural.
Wendy expressed frustration over assumptions that any curvy African woman must have had cosmetic surgery. She questioned why society is quick to associate fuller figures with surgical enhancements, especially when African women have naturally possessed such body types long before the rise of BBLs.
“So y’all want to tell me before BBL, Africans didn’t have a natural shape like mine? What’s with this BBL tag… Is it because I have gained at the right places?” she posted.
The Rufftown Records artist explained that her recent change in appearance is due to natural weight gain, not surgery. She added that people may not have noticed her body shape earlier because of the harsh criticism and body shaming she faced when she first entered the music scene.
“Y’all should get a life and stop being naive. What you are seeing is 100% natural and it is not my fault y’all didn’t realise it earlier because of the bullying when I stepped into the game,” she wrote.
Wendy Shay also criticised unrealistic beauty standards and the constant scrutiny women face, adding that society always finds something to criticise.
“It’s either your booty is too big, too small, or too fake. Mind your business! Africa, wake up!”
The statement has since attracted widespread discussion among social media users.
Wendy Shay remains one of Ghana’s most talked-about female artists, known for her music, confidence, and outspoken nature.
