In a Facebook posting last night, Namewee, whose real name is Wee Meng Chee, said: “Stop the slander and accusations that I have insulted Islam. For your information, Namewee is the first Chinese singer in history, to have sang a duet with Nasyid singer Yasin Suleiman (sic),” – referring to local nasyid singer Yasin Sulaiman.
According to Namewee, the duet was also nominated for the Best Lyrics Category in the 2016 Malaysian Music Awards (AIM).
So far, at least five police reports have been lodged against the 33-year-old over his latest music video called “Oh My God”.
The video depicts four men, dressed to represent the four major religions in Malaysia, singing with Namewee in Mandarin at various places of worship.
Yesterday, Penang police chief Abdul Ghafar Rajab said Namewee was currently overseas and they would arrest him as soon as he returns to the country.
