Wendy Shay has broken her silence on Sarkodie's Patapaa reference in their new song This & That, saying she was reacting to a line she never wrote.

The RuffTown Records singer was speaking on GHOne TV on Thursday, November 12. She was asked about her reaction in the music video at the moment Sarkodie's verse mentions Patapaa.

"I only responded; I was not the one who said it," she said. "I honestly think Sarkodie really did his thing."

This & That came out on Friday, November 6, with Sarkodie as the only feature. By her account, she sent him the beat and got a verse back almost immediately.

When they later met at Rapperholic, she said, he told her no other song would have pulled him in. The official video, directed by Director Boldz, is on her YouTube channel.

"I couldn't have imagined anyone on the song apart from Sarkodie," she said.

She also credited the rapper with standing by her when she was being attacked online. "Sarkodie has inspired me in my music career."

One line in Sarkodie's verse is aimed at Patapaa, the 'One Corner' hitmaker, and it has had fans talking since the song came out.

Patapaa has been in the news himself this month, after he named his new puppy after Kuami Eugene.
