Qing Madi Opens Up on How Hard It Is for Women to Succeed in the Nigerian Music Industry
Nigerian singer Qing Madi has opened up about the struggles women face in the music scene, saying the industry offers little to no support for female artists.
The American Love star revealed on the Wahala Podcast that women in music often work twice as hard as men yet still face harsh criticism that their male colleagues are rarely subjected to.
She explained that society tends to place unnecessary restrictions on women while giving men more freedom, making the journey tougher for female musicians.
“At just 19, I already feel the weight of these challenges,” she said, adding that women in the industry hardly ever get a break.
Despite this, Qing Madi expressed pride in being a young female artist in Nigeria and praised other women in music for their resilience, noting that it takes strength and determination to survive in such a demanding space.
VeryDarkMan shares that he was warned by Burna Boy once that the Nigerians he fights for will one day turn on him.
He shared “Burna Boy warned me, he said the Nigerians I’m fighting for will backstab me. They’ll put knife in your neck if they have the opportunity.”
“Fighting for Nigerians is tiring. Same Nigerians that tried to cancel Burna of their own because of what happened in his UK show. Una international star. Just because him tell one person make him Comot from him show, Una join them everybody wan cancel am.”
