"Is My Love Not Enough": Joeboy & Jemima In Short Film | Fab.ng

Afrobeats star Joeboy and emerging artist Chimamanda Pearl Chukwuma, known as Qing Madi, have collaborated on the captivating short film. It is titled “Is My Love Not Enough.” AY Papi directed this short movie. This short film serves as an intriguing sneak peek for their upcoming project, which is a highly anticipated new song.

The story revolves around Joeboy’s character, a mechanic named Joe, or Young Legend, who faces challenges in his relationship with Belema, played by Jemima Osunde. Despite giving Belema 90% of his earnings, Joe’s efforts prove insufficient. This led to an unexpected breakup. Seeking guidance, Joe turns to his friend Madi, played by Qing Madi, who offers him a new strategy.

The short film effectively serves as a powerful marketing tool, skillfully combining humour and emotional depth. Keeping the release date under wraps adds to the suspense. The relatable portrayal of a complex relationship marred by financial differences strikes a chord with a broad audience.

Clearly, Joeboy and Qing Madi have managed to capture the public’s imagination, as evidenced by their recent activity on social media, which only adds to the excitement surrounding their collaboration.

Joeboy posted recently on X saying, “Ready for part 2?” to which Qing Madi playfully followed up in the thread, saying, ”Qings, Are youuu???👀🤭”.

With an open-ended conclusion, the short film leaves viewers wanting more, just like the mystery surrounding the upcoming single’s release date.
