Binh Gold: From tattoo artist to infamous figure in Vietnamese rap

(Dan Tri) - Rising from the underground world, Binh Gold - real name Vu Xuan Binh - is a name that is not unfamiliar to the audience because of his shocking statements and controversial music products.

Binh Gold's real name is Vu Xuan Binh, born in 1997, from Hai Phong. He is an underground rapper, famous for his bold musical style and controversial songs.

Before pursuing music, Binh Gold worked as a tattoo artist. He started to gain attention in 2018 with his mumble rap - a hip hop genre characterized by unclear pronunciation and a focus on rhythm.

Among them, the song " Boc bat ho" quickly spread on social networks, and was also a product that received harsh criticism because of its content promoting a decadent lifestyle, mentioning the problem of loan sharking and stimulant use.

Subsequent products such as "I'll Take Care of You, On the Flying Mode", "Smooth", "Wide Relationship "... continued to attract attention with content showing off money, lavish life and loose lifestyle.

These MVs are often condemned by the public and experts for their offensive images, vulgar rap lyrics, lack of artistry, and the risk of having a negative impact on young people.

In addition to his solo activities, Binh Gold has collaborated with many famous artists such as Bich Phuong (song " What age do you like to give lucky money" ), JustaTee and BigDaddy ( Het mana )...

In 2020, the Panorama News bulletin on VTV1 mentioned Binh Gold by name in a report reflecting the rampant situation of offensive and toxic content on YouTube.

In the face of criticism, the male rapper said he only wanted to make art, inspired by American rap, and promised to be more restrained in future products.

By September 2022, Binh Gold confirmed to Dan Tri reporter that he had removed a number of controversial MVs from his personal YouTube channel, including Boc bat ho, Ong ba gia tao lo het, Tron, Quan ty vang, Da may bay...

However, in recent years, he has continued to receive mixed reactions from the public when releasing songs such as Trang Hoa May Mua, Doi Thuong Phap...

Most recently, Binh Gold is said to have attacked rapper HIEUTHUHAI. Specifically, after HIEUTHUHAI released the song TRINH in November 2024, Binh Gold immediately released a song in response. The incident caused him to be criticized by HIEUTHUHAI's fan community for a long time.
