Wendy Shay to sponsor Tracy Shay despite 'disobedience'
Wendy Shay responded to rumours that she intended to disown her protégé after Tracy Shay performed at an event in Koforidua without informing her.
The It’s Too Late singer explained that Tracy is still a child and only takes instructions from her parents. She reaffirmed that nothing has changed regarding her commitment to Tracy's education.
The RuffTown Records signee took to social media to share her perspective on Tracy’s performance.
"Anything action or decision that Tracy takes affects me and my brand, so before she goes on stage, I make sure I prepare her so she does the right thing. I had no idea about that particular show, so I couldn’t prep her. I have seen people bashing her, but Tracy can’t go to Koforidua alone to perform; she is living with her parents,” she said.
"I've read every comment. I want everyone to know that Tracy does not stay with me, even though some of you are suggesting that I return the child to her parents. Tracy's manager, her aunt, is always present when you see her with me. Her road manager is even her uncle. Tracy is either on vacation or not in class when you see her near me. I also want everyone to know that I still stand by my pledge to look after her from first grade through college. "As far as I know, I make sure to provide anything Tracy needs," she continued.
