Nigerian singer-songwriter and dancer Qing Madi, whose real name is Chimamanda Pearl Chukwuma, is trending on social media over the success of her concert in Uganda, which is her first since she made it to the spotlight.
Popular Instagram blogger Tunde Ednut, who shared a video from the show, claimed Qing Madi was paid a whopping N493 million for her performance in Uganda.

The singer, who gained recognition after her 2022 single “See Finish” and her follow-up, “Ole,” recalled how people tried to discourage her, stressing that her tickets were overpriced.
Qing Madi, however, seemingly denied being paid such an amount, writing, “If I were paid as much as she was paid, I would be acting nice, too.”

She, however, appreciated God and Ugandans for turning up for her and making it a success.
“I had my first concert in Uganda 🇺🇬… the most special day of my musical life ❤️ so many people discouraged me and said a lot about how it’s too early nice I’ve only been in the industry for a year + and how the tickets were overpriced and so many even said no one would attend my concert …But I only listened to what GOD ALMIGHTY said And he approved of it. Uganda turned up for me and they showed me true love, one that I will never forget … 🇺🇬❤️This will forever be embedded in my soul #pearlofafrica”,
