Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Qing Madi has made shocking allegations against her former record label boss, Joy Tongo, CEO of JTon Music, claiming that he forged her signature and attempted to derail her music career.

The allegations have sparked heated reactions online, with fans rallying behind the singer and demanding answers from all parties involved.
