Wendy Shay Releases "Africa Money"

Wendy Shay, the Ghanaian music sensation, is back with a bang, dropping her latest hit single, "AfricaMoney." This groovy tune hit the airwaves on October 25, 2023, accompanied by a visually stunning music video directed by the talented duo, Eni Baid and Wendy Shay herself.

"Africa Money" is a fresh track produced by none other than Fox Beat, delivering that signature Wendy Shay sound we all love. But what's the buzz all about? Let's dive into the nitty-gritty of this catchy track.

The song opens with a candid portrayal of the financial struggles that many in Africa face. Lyrics like "Wake up" and "Hustle, Struggle" underscore the undeniable reality of hard work being the key to making a living. The song delves into income disparities, hinting that "Africa money" isn't evenly distributed, with the recurring phrase "Nyafu nyafu" suggesting how some people get it plentifully, while it remains elusive for many.

Wendy Shay doesn't shy away from addressing the elephant in the room – corruption. She subtly alludes to political figures (President, and Governor) benefiting while the common people struggle, possibly commenting on corruption and wealth inequality in the region.

Amid these challenges, there's a ray of hope in Wendy Shay's lyrics. Lines like "Mama don’t cry, It gon be alright" offer reassurance that things will get better. The artist's frustration with the lack of money is evident as she asks, "Where the money dey, where the kwacha dey," echoing the sentiments of those seeking financial stability.

The song emphasizes the principle that those who work hard should be duly rewarded, exemplified by "Ebi monkey wey edey work, enso baboon wey edey chop," suggesting a desire for fairness in compensation.


Wendy Shay's "Africa Money" is more than just a catchy tune; it's a social commentary on economic disparities, corruption, and the monetary challenges faced by many in Africa. It doesn't merely point out problems; it carries a message of hope and a call for fairness and recognition of hard work.

So, next time you groove to this track, you'll not only enjoy the beats but also appreciate the thought-provoking message it carries. Wendy Shay, once again, delivers music that's not only entertaining but socially relevant.
