Malaysian rapper Namewee dropped a new song titled “Very Shuai” on Spotify on 5 Nov 2025, the same day he surrendered to police following a police manhunt.
The 42-year-old Johor-born musician, whose real name is Wee Meng Chee, is currently held in a six-day remand until 10 Nov 2025 as police investigate the death of Taiwanese influencer Hsieh Yu-hsin in a Kuala Lumpur hotel.
“Very Shuai”
“Very Shuai”, which translates to “Very Handsome”, is an old demo originally recorded in 2014 for his band, P-High.
The song parodies the male obsession with bravado, image, and “coolness” in online culture. It contains lyrics such as “sorry goodbye please don’t cry” and details how he rejects women who confess their love for him.
According to The Star, Namewee had announced the song’s release before becoming involved in the murder investigation. The track was scheduled for release weeks in advance rather than being a deliberate move while the rapper is detained.
Hsieh’s manager criticized the release as inappropriate and untimely. “I understand his fans are definitely excited, but can’t he wait until the investigations are over before releasing the song?” the manager told China Press.
Taiwanese Influencer Death Reclassified as Murder Case
The 33-year-old Hsieh, also known online as Iris Hsieh or “Nurse Goddess”, was found dead in a hotel room on 22 Oct 2025.
Wee and Hsieh had spent the night together before she died.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Commissioner Datuk Fadil Marsus confirmed that the case has been reclassified from sudden death to murder. The cause of death remains under investigation pending post-mortem and toxicology reports.
Drug Charges and Ongoing Legal Proceedings
Wee was arrested on 22 Oct 2025 in a hotel room and was initially remanded for two days.
He was charged with two drug-related offences on 24 Oct 2025. The rapper pled not guilty and was released on bail.
The next court mention for the drug cases is set for 18 Dec 2025.
Wee previously denied using or possessing drugs and stated on social media that he would fully cooperate with police investigations.
