Malaysian rapper Namewee has released a new song, titled “Very Shuai” – which translates to “Very Handsome” – while being held in remand.

The 42-year-old, whose real name is Wee Meng Chee, is currently detained for six days to assist in investigations into the death of Taiwanese influencer Hsieh Yun Hsi.
According to China Press, the track – an old demo recorded back in 2014 – was released on Spotify on Wednesday, coinciding with the day Namewee surrendered himself to authorities.
The publication further reported that Namewee had announced the song’s release before becoming implicated in the ongoing investigation.
It is believed that the track had been scheduled for release in advance, rather than being a deliberate move by the rapper while in detention.
