In a series of now-deleted Instagram stories, the 19-year-old artist alleged that the same people who tried to derail fellow singer Cynthia Morgan’s career are now targeting her.
She claimed the label had previously sued her for one million dollars but lost the case.
According to her, they are now frustrated by her growth.
“Lol, my ex-label, the same people that tried to destroy Cynthia Morgan, are trying to do the same to me. It’s paining you that I didn’t give up even after suing me for 1 million dollars and losing your case,” she wrote.
Qing Madi emphasised that she rarely complains online, preferring to stay focused on her music. However, she criticised her former label for removing her track just as it was gaining traction. In another post, she directly called out Joy Tongo, telling her to “leave me alone,” and vowed not to be silenced like Cynthia Morgan.
“Cynthia Morgan cried and was silenced. It won’t happen with me,” she declared.
Despite the setback, Qing Madi assured fans that Pepper Me would return to streaming platforms.
She stressed that her silence should not be mistaken for protecting her ex-label’s image, insisting that she only wants to make music while they “play dirty.”
“I’ll resolve it, don’t worry. The song will be up again. Just because I chose to keep quiet doesn’t mean I care about protecting your image. I just want to do music, that’s all. But you want to play dirty. I’m 19, bro. Let me be!!!” she added.

"Before we judge the record label I would like to ask you: Are there any unfinished contracts that you needed to deliver to them before you moved on? How was your deal structured and did you complete your own side of any agreements signed before they invested in you?"
