Nigerian singer and songwriter Qing Madi has shared an unsettling experience in which she claims she was charged an inflated price for medication at a local pharmacy.
Speaking during an appearance on the Tea with Tay podcast, the “See Finish” crooner recounted how a routine errand turned into an uncomfortable encounter involving both overpricing and unwanted attention.
According to Madi, the incident occurred while she was out with her parents. Her father had asked her to step out of the car to purchase medication from a nearby pharmacy.
She explained that upon entering the store, staff members quickly recognized her and began taking photos and videos, drawing attention to her presence.
The situation escalated when she was allegedly billed N50,000 for a drug she said typically costs around N2,000. Madi noted that her father immediately challenged the price upon learning of the discrepancy.
Despite his reaction, she claimed the pharmacy staff denied any wrongdoing.
The singer described the moment as both shocking and embarrassing, citing the combination of public attention and the disputed charge.
Madi’s account sheds light on the pressures public figures may face in everyday situations, particularly when their celebrity status influences how they are treated.
Known for her hit songs “See Finish” and “Ole,” the fast-rising artist said the experience serves as a reminder of the less-visible challenges that can accompany fame.
