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.”
Nigerian singer Harry song speaks on the rising insecurity in the country and shared that increasing the security income can help improve their performance in securing the country.
The singer took to social media and urged the government “TO MR PRESIDENT. IF YOU REALLY, TRULY WANNA END INSECURITY IN NIGERIA? Start by increasing the salary and allowances of the armed forces. The salary of the army, the navy, the air force, the Nigerian Police Force is too small, too shameful. Increase their salary, this job should be worth dying for. Increase their salaries ooooooo pls and pls.”
Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye from the former duo P-Square, shares his greatest fear. During a recent interview, the singer spoke about his fears and revealed that he is not afraid of death.
Instead, he said he is scared of poverty and has this fear because he has experienced it before. “I am not afraid of death. The only thing I am afraid of in this life is poverty, of being broke.
“I have tasted it [poverty] before. I have been in our house with my parents and siblings, and a bulldozer came and demolished it.”
Popular Nigerian singer, Davido, makes headlines for his gesture of goodwill. It can be noted that during the afternoon performance, the singer paused for one minute of silence to honor his colleague Wizkid’s mother.
The singer paused during his performance and said “Personally, I have lost many loved ones, people close to me, so I understand how Wizkid is feeling right now. May his mother, our mother because she was dear to me, rest in peace.”
This gesture touched many fans, as they were in awe of the singer showing a kind heart despite the usual rivalry between their fan bases.
