Singer and songwriter, Chimamanda Pearl Chukwuma a.k.a Qing Madi has alleged that her label owner Joy Tongo forged her signature and ripped her off.
Qing Madi said that Tongo, who is the CEO of JTon Music, has been stealing from her and was also out to frustrate her efforts.
Qing Madi made the claims during a TikTok live session saying that her former record label is cutting through “the corners” to sabotage her after she defeated their $2-million lawsuit brought against her in court.
“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,” Qing Madi said.
Meanwhile, Joy Tongo has responded to Qing Madi’s allegations, debunking them as “false claims.”
Tongo denied forging Madi’s signature or stealing from her.
She explained that the case Qing Madi claimed to have won was still ongoing, adding that the injunction is why the record label can issue a legal takedown of her songs or projects.
“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,” Tongo added in a post on her Instagram page.
