Accra, Ghana – April 10, 2025 —
Award-winning Ghanaian musician Wendy Shay has taken a bold step to impact a young girl’s future after a viral video of the child dancing to her hit single “Too Late” sparked widespread attention on social media.
The girl, identified as Tracy Shay, a student of Ridoana Comprehensive School in Ashaiman, became an internet sensation after a clip of her dancing energetically in uniform to Wendy Shay’s track surfaced online earlier this month. While the video drew both praise and criticism from netizens, Wendy Shay chose to focus on the girl’s confidence and talent.
“I was inspired by her energy and passion. Instead of criticizing her, I believe she needs support and direction,” Wendy Shay said during her school visit.

Empowering the Next Generation Through Music
The generous gesture has been widely applauded by fans and education advocates, with many praising Wendy Shay for using her platform to empower the youth and promote education in underserved communities.
“This is beyond music. It’s about giving the next generation the tools they need to succeed,” one fan commented online.

From Viral Moment to Life-Changing Opportunity
Tracy’s story is a testament to the power of visibility and the unexpected ways in which art can transform lives. What began as a spontaneous school performance has now turned into a life-changing opportunity, thanks to Wendy Shay’s intervention.
