After 2 months of inactivity and limited public appearances, Negav returned to promote and perform at nights 3 and 4 of the Anh trai say hi concert at My Dinh Stadium, Hanoi.
Although many audiences objected to Negav performing at the national stadium in front of tens of thousands of people, the male rapper was still cheered by a group of fans.
However, Negav did not have a complete performance on his comeback day. He kept dancing wrong, forgetting his moves, and not singing his part.
During the performance "Kim Minh Kim Ho", Negav's part was played with a backtrack (pre-recorded background music) that was quite loud, drowning out the rapper's voice. When he tried to sing louder, his voice did not match the pre-recorded track.
In the songs "Catch me if you can", "Walk", "Don't care", "Love first too drunk", Negav also sang over the backtrack, not live like some of his colleagues.
When dancing to "Icon" or "First Love Too Drunk", Negav also danced wrongly, shyly admitting when the other "brothers" called his name because he forgot the song.
In the video recording the performance of "Icon" on night 4, Negav stood at the end but his movements were commented to be awkward, indecisive, and almost out of rhythm.
In the final performance "Say hi never say goodbye", even though he only sang 2 lines, Negav also skipped his part because... he was choked with emotion. This is the song that all 30 "brothers" sang live.
Some people say that Negav did not perform for 2 months, the rehearsal time for the concert was short so he forgot the songs, could not dance flexibly, and could not sing smoothly continuously throughout the concert for 2 nights.
However, many people reacted that Negav did not cultivate, improve his skills, and enhance his expertise to show professionalism and respect for the audience after his return.
On the evening of December 7, in the opening of the concert night 3, Negav appeared for the first time after the noise and shared that this was 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 a chance to come back,” the rapper expressed his emotion when saying these words.
After performing with his "brothers", Negav expressed: "Performing at My Dinh Stadium is my dream. Especially with so many people loving me below. Thank you everyone."
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.
After appearing at the Anh trai say hi Ha Noi concert, the male rapper also reopened his fanpage with 580,000 followers. In addition, he opened a new Instagram account, no longer using the old account.
Although he was welcomed back by fans, for many people, the vulgar words from the past have caused Negav to lose his image, unable to regain it.
Sharing with Lao Dong reporter, musician Nguyen Van Chung said, "I won't mention anyone by name. But I assume that if my son at that age had such statements and chat groups, I would feel scared."
