Speaking on DJ Slim's podcast, the singer said the moment had been blown out of proportion.
The clip, which surfaced in late September 2026, showed Wendy Shay moving Lasmid's hand off her lap while the pair sat together on a couch.
Many social media users criticised her, with some insisting she owed Lasmid a public apology for embarrassing him.
Others turned the moment into memes, joking about how Lasmid must have felt after the encounter.
Both artistes recently released BendOva, an Afropop collaboration that has been generating buzz online.
Wendy Shay explains Lasmid hand removal
During her appearance on DJ Slim's podcast, Wendy Shay addressed the backlash and gave her side of the story.
According to her, she removed Lasmid's hand simply to make room for herself to sit on the arm of the couch, as there was not enough space.
She explained that she could only act that way because she shared a good rapport with the singer. Without that relationship, the Too Late hitmaker said she would not have been comfortable doing so.
Unruly Studio, a TikTok page, later clipped the moment from the podcast and reshared it online.
