My Ex-Record Label Boss Forged My Signature, Stole My Money – Qing Madi Alleges

Afrobeats singer Qing Madi has accused her former record label boss, Joy Tongo, who is the CEO of JTon Music, of forging her signature and stealing from her.

The “American Love” singer made the allegation while also claiming that her former label is trying to sabotage her music career. She said this followed the removal of several songs from her new album “Barely Legal” from streaming platforms due to an alleged contract breach.

Speaking during a recent TikTok livestream, Qing Madi claimed that the label is still finding ways to frustrate her career after she reportedly won a $2 million lawsuit against them in court.

She said, “She [Joy Tongo] stole from me, did a bunch of weird things like forging my signature. She sued me for $2M & she lost the case. She took down ‘Pepper Me’, I worked with my team to prove it’s an illegal takedown. They went through the corners again to take down the project.”

The singer also called on fans to support her, saying she is tired of the ongoing dispute with her former label.

However, Joy Tongo has denied all the allegations, describing them as false claims.

She insisted that Qing Madi did not win any case, saying the matter is still in court. According to her, the ongoing injunction is what allows the label to take down songs or projects legally.

She said, “Also, the injunction is ruling is why we can issue a legal takedown now, what case have you won? Because last time I checked the case still hasn’t gone to trial.”
