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.”
Wendy Shay was involved in an accident on the ACP Estate-Kwabenya stretch after visiting a label mate, Kiki Marley on September 10, 2023.

It was a night of intellect, eloquence and culture as contestants of the 2026 Miss Tourism Ghana took centre stage at the Coconut Grove Regency Hotel for the Debate and Culture Night last Saturday.
The event, which forms part of activities leading up to the grand finale, saw the ladies move beyond beauty to battle with ideas, facts and opinions on a topic critical to the tourism industry.
The contestants debated the topic: The Importance of Traditional and Digital Media on Promotion of Tourism.
For the debate, the contestants were grouped into two teams of four, each tasked with defending a side of the argument.
It was a fierce but respectful exchange. The team arguing for traditional media described it as the trust builder, emphasising its credibility, mass reach, and its power to tell in-depth, emotional stories through television documentaries, radio and newspaper features.
They argued that traditional media still shapes public opinion and influences policy decisions in the tourism sector.
On the other side, the proponents of digital media raised salient points about its unmatched advantages in the modern era.
They highlighted its global reach at low cost, its two-way interaction that allows tourists to share real experiences and reviews, its ability to target specific audiences, and its measurable results where clicks, views and bookings can be tracked.
After heated arguments and rebuttals, both teams arrived at a powerful consensus that drew applause from the audience.
They concluded that without traditional media, tourism promotion lacks credibility and depth, and without digital media, it lacks reach, engagement and sales.
The judges and patrons agreed that the debate underscored a crucial lesson for Ghana’s tourism drive: for a country blessed with rich cultural heritage, colourful festivals, historic forts and castles, diverse wildlife and pristine beaches, the winning formula lies in combining the storytelling power of traditional media with the viral power of digital media to attract both domestic and international tourists.
The night was not only about debate, as the contestants also dazzled in cultural wear, showcasing the beauty and diversity of Ghanaian culture.
