Namewee’s reputation precedes him – pretty much literally.
The controversy-courting rapper, actor, and director was made to sign a letter of declaration stating that he would not “make any comments or say anything about the Malaysian Goverment or Chinese Government” during his visit to Hong Kong this week.
Namewee, whose real name is Wee Meng Chee, was to have made his way to Hong Kong on Monday to perform at a concert, whose organisers became anxious as to what the extremely vocal rapper would say.
Apparently it was the organisers who insisted Namewee keep his mouth shut about anything political while on the island.
Last Saturday, Namewee posted a photo of the signed declaration to his official Facebook page, with the caption, “HAHA! THX DEMOCRACY! I’ll only be in Hong Kong for a concert, was this really necessary?”
Despite his complaints, Namewee did sign the declaration, and his show in Hong Kong seemed to have gone pretty well:
And we thought keeping our carry-on luggage under 7kg was a hassle.
