Wendy Shay responds to COP Kofi Boakye, "Celebrity is an English word."
Wendy Shay, a Ghanaian musician, is educating Ghanaians on the meaning of the word “famous.”
“Celebrity is an English word that signifies a prominent person, especially in sports and entertainment,” Wendy Shay explains.
On the other hand, Wendy Shay argues that Ghanaians do not comprehend the proper concept of “celebrity,” so they have developed their own to fit everyone.
Ghanaians, she claims, interpret it as someone who is well-known.
In a tweet on November 15, Wendy Shay wrote, “Celebrity is an English word that refers to a well-known person, particularly in the fields of entertainment or sports.” However, it appears that some Ghanaians have their own interpretation of the term “celebrity,” with someone being famous (celebrity) to “hurt you people, ooh Dabi.” Wake up, Ghana! “..
Her post is in response to Ghanaian Commissioner of Police Kofi Boakye’s recent description of “celebrity.”
COP Kofi Boakye voiced concern about requests made by some celebrities at (IGP), George Akuffo Dampare, at a meeting between the Ghana police and creative individuals held last week.
The outspoken senior police officer stated that there is a need to define what a celebrity is and who is deserving of the designation.
“What is the definition of a celebrity? What does the term “celebrity” mean in a practical sense? I believe we should obtain that because I am perplexed. We’re perplexed. Is it true that if you feature in one film or sing one song, you are considered a celebrity? And, as you can see, we’re perplexed and have no idea what you want “he stated
The majority of Ghanaians have supported his definition, while Wendy Shay and Guru appear to be against it.
