Black Sherif questioned why Wendy Shay's name is missing from "Artiste of the Year" conversations on The Late Nite Celebrity Show ahead of the 2026 Telecel Ghana Music Awards. Black Sherif said, "I don't like how people are not mentioning Wendy Shay ein name for the 'Artist of the Year'."
His comments have stirred fresh conversation on social media. Many are praising the gesture as a show of fairness, while others suggest he may be deflecting attention.

The project features collaborations with Mavado, Olivetheboy, Phina, and Bedjine.
Wendy Shay drew an estimated 100,000 fans to her annual Shay Concert at the West Hills Mall last November. She later picked up the Best Female Artist in West Africa award at the 9th AFRIMA ceremony in January. With the Telecel Ghana Music Awards approaching, conversations around gender representation and industry recognition have become increasingly prominent.
