Singer Wendy Shay had a slightly awkward encounter with a traditional oracle during her visit to the Weija Palace on November 20, 2025.
The visit came ahead of her highly anticipated 2025 Shay Concert, set for November 22, 2025, at West Hills Mall in Weija.
Wendy Shay went to the palace to seek the blessing and protection of Nii Ayi Okufobour, the traditional leader of Weija, for her annual show.
Upon her arrival, members of the traditional household, including an oracle, performed cultural rites and recited incantations to formally welcome the singer.
During the ceremony, the oracle offered Wendy Shay a small cup of what was believed to be palm wine, a traditional drink used in local rituals.
The singer, however, appeared hesitant and politely declined the offering, despite encouragement from those around her.
Nodding her head in refusal, she observed the ritual from a distance while the oracle poured the drink as libation and held Wendy’s hand to perform a traditional rite three times, allowing the proceedings to continue.
The 2025 Shay Concert, sponsored by Hisense Ghana and The Luckiest Africa, will feature performances from top Ghanaian artists including Showboy, KiDi, Mr Drew, Eno Barony, Larusso, Quamina MP, Kofi Mole, and Lasmid.
