“Omo Uganda get money. This girl don go far. They paid Qing Madi 300,000 dollars to perform. Correct me if I am wrong, She should be the first 18 years old getting paid this much and selling out her first show in Uganda.”

Qing Madi speaks about her Ugandan concert
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.
She, however, appreciated God and Ugandans for turning up for her and making it a success. She wrote on her Instagram page:
“I had my first concert in Uganda 🇺🇬… the most special day of my musical life ❤️ so many people discouraged me and said a lot bout 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,”

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.”
