For this reason and more, she has charged colleagues now feeding off the Afrobeats vibe to be more than ever, grateful to Nigerians.

"Ghanaian artistes should thank Nigerians artistes, for bringing the world’s attention to Africa …through Afrobeats. Ghana wake up!" read her tweet dated September 10.

Ghanaians on Twitter went ballistic over her 'uncuff' statement and what many have termed as disrespect to Ghanaian musicians.

A Twitter user @JuniorLennox1 argued that artistes had paid their dues in when it comes to the promotion of Afrobeats.

His comment to Wendy read: "Like seriously. And you call yourself an artist whiles you don’t even know what’s going on."

Another @FRichbard added: "It’s originated here. So what do you mean now."
