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 Timaya has spoken about elections, urging Nigerians to think carefully about their choices and the longer-term consequences of their votes.
Speaking on the state of the country, he said Nigerians have choices and should be intentional about them.
“Nobody dey advise anybody. If na wetin you dey find to chop now put for your pocket, na your business. No be one day o. Na another 4 years of hardship. If you know what’s good, you have to vote right.”
“I dey travel abroad dey see wetin dey happen na. Rich people dey abroad dey no dey stay for Nigeria, these politicians. Dey just dey work for Nigeria.”
Nigerian singer Rema has sparked reactions online after revealing the streamers he watches for entertainment.
The singer shared a list of popular streamers he follows, naming Enzo, Fanum, Agent, Kai Cenat and Okiki.
“The only streamers I fvck with are Enzo, Fanum, Agent, Kai Cenat, and Okiki.”
After he mentioned his list, Nigerians reacted and shared how some notable Nigerian streamers were not on the list, with many calling out their favourites for not being recognised by the singer.

Blaqbonez then replied, wanting to join: “Oya, make we dey together, sing as one.”
