Qing Madi Says Music Industry Feels Like a Place Where Everyone Just Wants to Use You
Afrobeats sensation Qing Madi has once again opened up about the harsh realities she’s faced in the Nigerian music scene, describing the industry as “dark” and full of people trying to exploit young artists. The 18-year-old singer, who rose to fame unexpectedly, shared on the Lagos Meets London podcast that her journey into the industry wasn’t planned—she just wanted to make music, earn some money, and continue her education. But things took a different turn.
“I’ve had so many issues with contracts,” she said. “A lot of professionals in the industry are only out for themselves. They’re greedy and want to take advantage of you. The industry is dark.” She explained that the impure intentions of many industry figures affect how artists grow creatively, especially when their main aim is to take rather than build.
Speaking on how she manages fame and her personal life, Qing Madi said her mom plays a huge role in keeping her grounded by reminding her she’s still a teenager. “She makes me do chores to remind me I’m human,” she said. “Because sometimes it feels like you’re just a machine and everyone’s watching you, trying to figure out how to make money off you. It’s messed up. Sometimes I just want to go home and be a kid.”
