From the afternoon of December 7th, many fan pages shared videos with sensational titles such as "Police urgently arrest MC Quyền Linh for selling substandard goods," "Quyền Linh officially handcuffed," etc. In these clips, a man resembling MC Quyền Linh is shown being restrained by law enforcement.
However, upon closer analysis of facial movements and details in the video, many social media users quickly realized it was a product of deepfake technology – a technique that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to create highly realistic fake content.

Although some viewers pointed out the video's fake nature, many still believed it was real and spread misinformation. This situation forced MC Quyền Linh to quickly respond.
During the livestream on the evening of December 8th, the male artist said he had received many messages from friends, colleagues, and viewers asking questions.
The male MC asserted that the information about his arrest was completely unfounded. He had a work schedule in Hanoi and was participating in activities with the Vietnam Film Association; there was absolutely no truth to the rumors circulating online.
MC Quyền Linh shared his thoughts on the matter:
Quyền Linh emphasized that recently many artists have become victims of deepfake technology. Images and voices of artists are exploited by malicious individuals to create false content. He urged audiences to be vigilant and cautious when receiving information on social media.
The case of MC Quyền Linh is not an isolated incident. In recent months, a number of Vietnamese artists have fallen victim to scams using AI technology.
Recently, singer and actress Nhat Kim Anh had to speak out to clarify after a series of articles appeared claiming that " Nhat Kim Anh fled from the investigative agency," and "The female singer was prosecuted for fraud." These completely fabricated reports caused the artist and her family a great deal of trouble.
Artists like Ho Ngoc Ha, Ngo Thanh Van, and My Tam have repeatedly warned about the use of AI to copy images and voices for advertising low-quality products, and even fraudulent projects.
Earlier in August, actors Dai Nghia, Quoc Truong, and Ly Hai simultaneously "cry for help" after discovering that fraudsters were using AI technology to superimpose their voices and mouth movements onto videos soliciting financial investments and promoting fictitious real estate projects.
