Wendy Shay’s mother, Obaapa Kaakyire Addo has told critics of her daughter’s fashion sense that the singer is a decent girl off the stage.
According to her, Wendy’s choice of clothes differs from what she wears behind the stage because the stage comes with its own demands.
Due to this reality, she has advised persons who imitate her daughter’s fashion sense to follow wisely.
“My daughter is not into nudity. She wears what she wears on stage because the craft demands it. However, after the stage, she is a decent girl, so I will urge young ladies to rather focus on the real Wendy Shay after the stage and learn from that rather than learn from what she wears on stage,” she stated.
She expressed pride in Wendy Shay’s achievement in the industry, indicating that she has fulfilled her dream.
In a similar instance, the father of Ghanaian actress and musician Yaa Jackson responded to the continuous public scrutiny over the social life of her daughter.
A section of Ghanaians asserted that her social lifestyle does not align with the cultural expectations of a young Ghanaian woman.
Responding to this, her father, Jackson K. Bentum, told SeanCity TV in an interview that, “She’s over 18 now. There’s little I can do to control her choices.”
Yaa Jackson's father believes that all her daughter is putting up in the public eye is meant to contribute to building a solid brand for herself.
“It’s part of the branding. It’s the business of entertainment,” he emphasised.
Contrary to Yaa Jackson's social reputation, Mr Bentum revealed that his daughter has become a different person behind the scenes ever since she assumed the role of a mother.
“Even when we’re on set, she no longer agrees to wear those revealing outfits. Motherhood has changed her a lot,” Mr. Bentum shared.
She slammed critics who condemn her style of dressing.
In an interview with Graphic Showbiz, Yaa Jackson noted that she is not perturbed by the opinions of people, adding that she doesn't dress to express anyone.
“Oh, the comments! I’m not worried about what people say about my style. Fashion is subjective, and I’m all about being true to myself. If people love it, great! If not, that’s okay too.
“I won’t change for someone else’s idea of style. Besides, on an ordinary day, you will not see Yaa Jackson dressed like that,” she stated.
Yaa Jackson rose to fame as an actress and is now balancing her career between acting and music.
According to her, music allows her to express her emotions and ideas than acting does.
“Honestly, I love both music and acting. I think they’re both forms of storytelling, just in different ways. Right now, I’m leaning more towards music because it allows me to express myself in a personal and raw way. However, I will continue to explore both passions,” she added.
Meanwhile, her father, Jackson K. Bentum, has responded to ongoing public scrutiny over the social life of his daughter.
A section of Ghanaians has asserted that her social lifestyle does not align with the cultural expectations of a young Ghanaian woman.
According to him, “She’s over 18 now. There’s little I can do to control her choices.”

Meanwhile, Yaa Jackson Konadu had disclosed in 2023 that she was five months into her pregnancy before she knew she was carrying a child.
On the account of Yaa, “it was too late” when news of her pregnancy was announced to her.
Speaking in an interview with Zionfelix, she noted that she could have taken good care of herself if only she had discovered her pregnancy in the first trimester.
“It got to a time where I lost my appetite and became weak. I went to check at the hospital but then, it was too late. It was after five months that I found out I was pregnant…had I known earlier, I could have taken much care of myself.
“I never abort my pregnancy. I won’t harm that innocent baby…I was ready for anything. I have been with my man for almost two years but we’ve been friends since 2016,” she said.
The mother of several years added that she performed shows without raising eyebrows, adding that she kept posting on social media until 7 months into her pregnancy.
“I was playing shows until my 7th month. My belly wasn’t protruding; I kept on posting on social media.”
