"Wendy Shay is one girl whose music really travels far. I was in Tottenham the other time, and a Zambian British person was playing this Too Late song and was singing word for word, and I was shocked. Low key she is putting Ghana on the map 👏👏👏👏."

"TikTok pays $0.2 - $0.4 per 1,000 views, translating to roughly $20-$40 per million, $200-$400 per 10 million etc,"
