When Negav's vulgar, sexually harassing comments were "dug up", the rapper's innocent image on reality TV collapsed.

In a brief moment, when there was no longer the hand of the director and the thoughtful editing of Anh trai say hi, Negav revealed his true image when he shouted, "Mom, do you think it was right for me to drop out of school?" and caused the crisis to escalate, forcing him to stop all activities.

During nearly 4 months of broadcasting on Anh trai say hi, this reality TV show has shown the image of a humorous, innocent, and pure Negav. Although his talent is not as outstanding as other contestants of the same age such as Rhyder, Duong Domic (born in 2000), but with his funny and rich-showing performances, Negav still made it to the finals.

According to experts, reality TV, with a certain staging, the image of each artist on the show will be different from their real life. The hands of the director and scriptwriter of reality shows will carefully cut to make the program attractive and create a unique personality and image for each "character" participating in the show.

In the show "Call Me by Fire" season 1, which aired at the end of 2023, Le Quyen and Mlee were heavily criticized for being suspected of being favored by the Organizing Committee, always being on the same team, and having a competitive nature in the music race.

When answering the press, My Linh affirmed that Le Quyen and Mlee in real life are very cute, playful, and "fair play", not like what the audience thought after watching "Call Me by Fire".

That means, when Le Quyen and Mlee participated in reality TV, they were portrayed with a different image than they are in real life. Previously, many artists had confirmed this. Oc Thanh Van was so upset that she declared that she no longer wanted to participate in game shows after her competition in Nhanh nhu chop aired.

Negav became known after participating in reality shows such as Radiant Journey and Anh trai say hi. Here, Negav showed the audience a naive, innocent, pure image and attracted a large number of young fans.

Negav once nicknamed himself Ut Kho. Ut Kho's image has been supplemented with innocence and naivety in the reality shows that the male rapper participated in.

Of course, in nearly 4 months in Anh trai say hi, with his personality, Negav will inevitably have some slips of the tongue, all of this will be cut out when aired.

The director and screenwriter can advise Negav on what the rapper's strengths are so that when he goes on stage, when he stands in front of the camera, Negav can further develop and show off his purity, innocence, or wealth.

Fans admired and loved that image of Negav in reality shows. It was only when, during a live music night, when both the director and the scriptwriter could not control the "dialogue", and could not cut and edit in time, that Negav became himself.

When Negav was himself, the pure image of the male rapper on reality TV completely collapsed.
