After appearing at the concert Anh trai say hi Ha Noi, social networks were abuzz because of an Instagram account believed to belong to Negav.
This account appeared after Negav re-emerged, reopening his Facebook page with nearly 600,000 followers. However, viewers could not verify whether this was Negav's official account or not.
On the night of December 26, this account updated the first photo, with a caption of Merry Christmas. While the audience was still confused, HIEUTHUHAI attracted attention when he liked the photo. The male rapper did not follow this account but only "liked" the first photo as a tacit support for Negav.
HIEUTHUHAI's actions sparked controversy on social media. Many people believe that HIEUTHUHAI's support for a notorious rapper with a personal scandal is disrespectful to the audience.
While Negav's new account has more than 200,000 followers, posts about this rapper on social media still have many negative and condemning comments.
Previously, HIEUTHUHAI had expressed his support for Negav many times. At a show in late November, when the audience shouted Negav's name, HIEUTHUHAI excitedly said: "That's great, I understand the problem."
At the Anh trai say hi concert in Ho Chi Minh City, when Negav was absent, HIEUTHUHAI also received gifts from fans and promised to deliver them to Negav.
Another member of Gerdnang, Hurrykng, also invited Negav to livestream together after the scandal, and encouraged Negav every time the rapper appeared in front of the media.
The fact that Gerdnang still accepted Negav to continue his activities has also been a topic of discussion recently. Negav's noise also negatively affected his fellow members, forcing them to limit their activities despite their rising popularity.
In the near future, Negav will be announced to perform in a big concert, gathering many "older brothers" and veteran artists.
This will be Negav's first activity outside of the framework of Say Hi Brother after being involved in a private scandal. Although many people still boycott and oppose the rapper's return to activities, there are still many fans waiting to meet Negav.
Negav joined the Gerdnang team in 2022, at the time HIEUTHUHAI was on the rise. The rapper had a number of solo works but it was not until Anh trai say hi that he became widely known to the audience.
Negav's skills have received mixed reviews. At the Hanoi concert, the rapper repeatedly danced incorrectly, forgot his moves, and left his parts unsung.
In front of tens of thousands of spectators, Negav shared that this is a blessing in his career to stand on the big stage: "I would like to thank the audience, the organizers, those who have been tolerant, accepted my mistakes and given me the opportunity to return."
But by having to sing over the beat, chasing the beat, and forgetting the moves in the second concert night at My Dinh Stadium, Negav has not shown that he deserves to return.
Previously, Negav was involved in a private scandal when he made offensive and vulgar statements in the past. Criticism from the majority of the audience forced the male rapper to be absent from the Anh trai say hi 2 concert in Ho Chi Minh City.
