Rising star Qing Madi has boldly highlighted the challenges female artists face in Nigeria’s music scene. According to her, the industry is far from supportive, often placing unfair expectations and criticisms on women that their male counterparts rarely experience. She emphasized that women have to work twice as hard just to keep up.
Qing Madi expressed frustration over the societal double standards that restrict women in the industry. While men enjoy greater freedom to express themselves, women are frequently boxed into tight roles and subjected to harsher judgment. At just 19, she finds it daunting that women rarely get a break or the recognition they deserve.
Despite the difficulties, Qing Madi remains proud to be a female artist in Nigeria. She salutes every woman navigating the music world, acknowledging the strength and resilience it requires to succeed in such an unconducive environment.
