Wendy Shay Explains Her Reaction to Sarkodie’s Line
During the interview, Wendy Shay was asked about her subtle reaction in the video at the moment Sarkodie threw a swipe at Patapaa. Many viewers had read her gesture as support for the jab.
The singer distanced herself from the comment itself. “I only responded; I was not the one who said it,” she said, explaining that she was only emphasising what the rapper had delivered on the track.
She did not criticise Sarkodie’s verse. Instead, she praised his contribution to the record. “I honestly think Sarkodie really did his thing,” she added.
Why Wendy Shay Chose Sarkodie for ‘This & That’
Wendy Shay revealed that Sarkodie was the only artiste she had in mind after she recorded the song. According to her, she sent him the beat and he recorded his verse and returned it quickly.
“I couldn’t have imagined anyone on the song apart from Sarkodie,” she said. “My music instinct was right with him. I could just hear his spirit; I could hear his voice on it.”
She also said Sarkodie told her that he would not have done it if she had sent him any other song.
Sarkodie’s Past Support
The Shay Gang leader credited the rapper with influencing her career. “Sarkodie has inspired me in my music career,” she said.
She recalled that Sarkodie stood by her during her social media encounter with MzGee, when he asked Ghanaians to “take it easy on” her.

The Sarkodie and Patapaa Feud
The tension between the two artistes goes back to 2018, when Sarkodie dropped a line suggesting that, had he not made it in life, artistes like Patapaa would only have performed at his funeral.
Patapaa initially said he was fine with the mention and even joined Sarkodie’s #BiibibaChallenge later that year. Over time, however, the “One Corner” hitmaker said he felt disrespected and accused Sarkodie of repeatedly using his name negatively.
The new reference on “This & That” brought the matter back into the spotlight this week.
Patapaa Refuses to Apologise
Speaking to Nana Romeo on Okay FM, Patapaa made it clear he would not back down. “Is it Sarkodie who brought the Ghanaian music industry? I will never apologise to him,” he said, as reported by GhanaWeb and DailyGuide Network.
“I’m not a small person; I’m from a palace, so if you offend me to the extreme, I will never leave you,” he added. He also insisted that “Sarkodie is not God, and he was the one who offended me.”
Patapaa further claimed that some media personalities follow Sarkodie’s lead, and said he was frustrated that interviewers keep asking him to apologise. We covered his full comments in our earlier story, ‘Nobody Can Force Me to Apologise to Sarkodie’ – Patapaa.
Sarkodie has not publicly responded to Patapaa’s latest remarks.
What’s Next for Wendy Shay
With “This & That” drawing attention, Wendy Shay is preparing for her Shay Concert 2026 on November 21 at West Hills Mall.
For now, the singer appears keen to keep the focus on the music rather than the feud, making it clear that the words about Patapaa belonged to Sarkodie, not her.
