Multiple Ghanaian musician, Wendy Shay has disclosed that her recent accident led to her surviving a Nasal-bone fracture.

A nasal bone fracture occurs when the nose impacts against a solid object, it is a break in the bone or cartilage over the bridge, or in the sidewall or septum (the structure that divides the nostrils) of the nose.

Recounting the accident on Hitz FM with Andy Dosty, Wendy Shay said she was returning home after visiting label mate Kiki Marley, and when she got close to a junction leading to her home, she felt a big push behind her.

“I Was going home, I had finished creating content to promote my new song Every Man Cheats, and I passed by my label-mate Kiki Marley just to say hi, and to help her with her content as well,” she disclosed.

According to her, “I had to branch to my junction and all of a sudden I felt a big push, I almost lost control. I remember all I was screaming was Jesus because it happened so fast.”

Wendy Shay further added “I didn’t know what was going on. I entered the gutter, it was when I realised I was safe.”

The Survivor hitmaker noted, “I didn’t even realise when my head hit the dashboard, but all of a sudden, I realised I was blacking out, so they had to rush me to the hospital.”

She disclosed that “I survived a nasal-bone fracture, my face, everywhere was swollen, so now I cover the dark spots with spectacles, I am better now.”

Organisers of Rhythms On Da Runway have announced November 28, 2026 as the date for the 16th edition of the event, to be held at the Palms Convention Centre.

This year’s edition, themed: ‘UNBOUND: Because You’ve Got Style’, is focused on breaking barriers in fashion and creating space for all.

According to the Chief Executive Officer of Nineteen57 Events, Shirley Emma Tibilla, affectionately called Cookie Tee, the focus of this edition is to give everyone an opportunity to express themselves without barriers.

She told The Spectator that as a leading fashion brand in the country and beyond, they want to open doors for people regardless of their colour, size and abilities among others.

Described by the BBC as “the biggest cultural exposé in Africa,” Rhythms On Da Runway returns this year as a celebration of fashion, music and individual expression without limits.

Organisers say for years fashion has been shaped by narrow ideas of who belongs on the runway, with certain body types, ages and abilities placed at the centre while many others are left out. UNBOUND seeks to open that picture.

This year’s runway will welcome people with different abilities, backgrounds, body types and personal stories. The theme will influence model casting, the collections, the stories told through the clothes and the way guests experience the event.

Beyond the runway, ‘Unbound’ will create room for young people to learn from established designers, gain practical experience and explore careers within fashion and the wider creative industry.

 It will also open conversations around adaptive fashion, accessible event design, talent discovery, mentorship and employment.

The 2026 edition will bring together fashion designers and music stars from Ghana and across the African diaspora, with strong collections, live performances and an all-star cast of celebrity models.

The event will also feature the Black Star Awards, which will honour public figures shaping Africa’s future through leadership and contributions to the continent’s Orange Economy.

Organisers say the list of participating designers, performing artists, award recipients and other event details will be announced in the coming weeks.
