About Namewee

Malaysian rapper who gained both praise and criticism after the publication of his song"Muka Ubi Kentang", which combined original lyrics with the Malaysian national anthem. He's also a filmmaker and actor, and his debut picture, Nasi Lemak 2.0, was a box office success.

Wee Meng Chee is a Malaysian Chinese hip hop recording artist, composer, filmmaker and actor who is widely known by his stage name Namewee, a bilingual pun on his first name, which sounds like the Mandarin term for name. Wee gained popularity after releasing a controversial song titled Negarakuku, a remake of the national anthem of Malaysia, Negaraku. The word kuku resembles the male reproductive organ in Chinese Hokkien dialect. In the weeks following the song's release, it drew criticism from Malaysian society. Despite the controversy surrounding Negarakuku, Wee released his first, self-titled EP, Namewee, in Malaysia on 3 September 2007. The album was completed in May and does not contain Negarakuku. In early 2010, he released his first film titled Nasi Lemak 2.0. Subsequently, he released Hantu Gangster and Kara King, which were released in 2012 and 2013 respectively. He also started a talk show series on YouTube, Namewee Tokok, in September 2012.
