Speaking to Thanh Nien , a representative of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Gia Lai province confirmed that Negav will not appear at the Light Festival on September 1. In addition, this person also said that the organizing committee has agreed to invite singer Kay Tran to replace Negav.

Immediately, this information received the audience's approval. Some netizens left comments: "Replacing Negav was the right choice. The organizers are great", "Showbiz does not lack singers, the organizers should learn from their experience when choosing guests next time", "Thank you organizers for listening to the audience", "Luckily it was canceled early or else the audience would have booed again", "Thank you for replacing Negav...". Up to now, the male rapper has not yet commented on this information.

A few days ago, a brand was heavily criticized by netizens for inviting rapper Negav to participate in a promotional campaign. In response to public opinion, the brand apologized twice, admitting that it did not control well the selection of artists, letting personal feelings influence the decision. Although the brand has repeatedly apologized and made commitments to correct the situation, the wave of reactions from the audience has not yet subsided. On social networks, many people still expressed their indignation, even declaring a boycott of the brand after the noise.

In October 2024, rapper Negav faced a wave of criticism for his statements related to education. His series of scandals began with the statement "Mom, do you think it's right? Do you think it's right for me to drop out of school?" at the Anh trai say hi concert. Since then, his past scandals have been "dug up" one by one. Netizens were outraged when they discovered that the male rapper had created and managed a Facebook group called "wet tissue". This group was created in 2020 and often shared offensive and vulgar content. In addition, Negav's image in the public eye became even worse when he was "exposed" for his rude comments and remarks about his seniors, which were discriminatory towards regions... on social networks in the past.

Negav later apologized for his sensitive posts with inappropriate content in the past. However, his apology did not calm the wave of public outrage. The incident forced the rapper to choose to "hide" for a while. After that, Negav continued to return to his artistic activities, making netizens angry. Recently, he was announced to be in the cast of season 2 of Say Hi Brother.
