Wendy Shay caught some heat online after turning down schnapps from Ga elders during a courtesy visit, but she cleared the air about why she refused the traditional drink. The singer explained that her doctors told her to stay away from alcohol because she's on medication right now, and she needed to keep herself healthy for an upcoming performance called the Shay Gang Show.
The viral clip showed the elders trying to get her to at least touch the cup to her lips since the drink represents blessings in their customs, but Wendy stuck to her position while being polite about the whole thing. She made it clear that she wasn't trying to disrespect anyone and actually appreciated how the elders welcomed her during the visit.
