Ghanaian musician Wendy Shay has shared her views on the purchase of fake designer items, insisting that she would rather go without luxury products than buy counterfeit versions.
Speaking in an interview on 3Music on November 11, 2026, the singer reacted to comments made by media personality Serwaa Amihere about people who purchase fake designer products.
Wendy Shay stated that she does not believe in buying counterfeit luxury items and prefers to acquire things based on what she can afford.
“I don’t do fake. If I don’t have the money to buy it, I won’t go and buy fake. I cut my coat according to my size. You all saw me when I came into the industry. I said I could afford an iPhone at that time,” she said.

She continued, “That was what was big for me at that time because, growing up in Germany, if you had a phone, you should know that it was on credit. I never had the money to buy it and pay in full.”
The singer explained that her financial circumstances have since improved, allowing her to purchase luxury items without relying on credit.
“Now I have the money to buy all these things without credit. So, for me, I thought it was a big deal at that time. If you see me holding anything that is luxury or branded, it’s really original and because I can afford it,” she added.
