Malaysian-born singer Namewee is no stranger to controversy – but fans still support him because they love his outspoken nature and no-nonsense personality. However, his recent social media post has gotten even his most adoring fans calling him out for his insensitivity.

Namewee, whose real name is Wee Meng Chee, shared a couple of posts on his social media on 1st April. The first post is a black-and-white image of the public figure with the numbers “1983 – 2024” written on it. Unfortunately, there were no captions to accompany the image, so the mysterious post gives the impression that the star has passed away.

In addition to the black-and-white photo was a post for Namewee’s “memorial service”. The notice looked legitimate and included visitation hours and the time for a farewell ceremony. Even the venue written on the notice, Nirvana Centre KL or Nirvana 2, is an actual funeral home located in Kuala Lumpur. Like the first post, the notice was uncaptioned, leaving fans to question the legitimacy of the news.

Given that the star posted the two photos on 1st April, many fans quickly realised that Namewee’s mysterious posts were just an April Fool’s prank. Some said they were initially shocked before they realised the date. Some fans even said the celeb had successfully pranked his fans because many had fallen for the news.
