Songstress, Qing Madi has claimed that the Nigerian music industry isn’t conducive for female artists.
She claimed that the music industry does not protect women, noting that the reception of female artists is low.
The ‘American Love’ crooner emphasised female musicians are often criticised unjustly.
Speaking in a recent episode of the Wahala Podcast, Qing Madi said, “I think the [music] industry is not the best for women in terms of protecting women, loving women in general.
“Women have to do twice as much work as their male counterparts. Women are oftentimes criticised for nothing. But they don’t do that to the men. The men have the right to do whatever they like, but for the women, society just wants to box women so much.
“I go through that, which is crazy because I’m 19. So what do you want me to do? Women never get a break. So I’m super proud of being a female artist in Nigeria. And I’m super proud of every female artist in Nigeria because it takes a lot [to be one]. It’s not easy.”
