Malaysian-born singer Namewee is no stranger to controversy - but fans still support him because they love his outspoken nature and no-nonsense personality.
However, his recent social media post has gotten even his most adoring fans calling him out for his insensitivity.
Namewee, whose real name is Wee Meng Chee, shared a couple of posts on his social media on 1st April. The first post is a black-and-white image of the public figure with the numbers “1983 - 2024” written on it. Unfortunately, there were no captions to accompany the image, so the mysterious post gives the impression that the star has passed away.In addition to the black-and-white photo was a post for Namewee’s “memorial service”.
Given that the star posted the two photos on 1st April, many fans quickly realised that Namewee’s mysterious posts were just an April Fool’s prank. Some said they were initially shocked before they realised the date. Some fans even said the celeb had successfully pranked his fans because many had fallen for the news.
However, not everyone was happy about the singer’s prank. Some fans said the posts were insensitive and called Namewee out for joking about death. Some even said it’s understandable for the star to want to play a prank on April Fool’s but lamented that he should’ve known better than to joke around about a serious topic.It seems the posts were only a prank, so fans can rest knowing Namewee is still alive. However, we’ll have to wait to see if the singer has anything else up his sleeve.
