Where did De Choat go wrong?

With just a few posts online, De Choat has destroyed the efforts he has made to build his name and image over many years. Champion Vietnamese Rap actively "poking" the right itch of rap fans, that is to provoke a battle through music. However, De Choat broke his promise twice.

The first time when the rappers had already started the music for the rhyme match, De Choat disappeared. He disappeared for a while, then appeared and said he had bought sound equipment to make music. The audience continued to wait for De Choat in vain.

In rap/hip hop culture, battles and beefs are where rappers build their reputation. Before the incident, De Choat was still active, not as famous as when he participated in game shows but still an influential rapper online. After the incident of going back on his word, De Choat became a "fat prey" for all rap fans to throw stones at.

In the history of Vietnamese rap, there have been many rappers in similar situations as De Choat. Rappers who joined the battle through music but failed would become the focus of criticism. There were rappers who entered the battle but left halfway, and were also attacked.

The culture of "fighting" with music creates the characteristics of rap, which has developed from underground for many years. From there, it has brought about negative and cruel reactions from the audience.

De Choat has been silent for many months. Two weeks ago, he returned to the music scene with a new mixtape. It was thought that De Choat's incident had passed. However, the audience continued to bring up the old story and attack the male rapper. De Choat was indignant and declared that he would seek legal action to resolve the issue with an individual/organization that attacked him. Then, the audience continued to attack De Choat. The male rapper responded again. A vicious cycle has happened to De Choat in the past few days.

After 4 years, De Choat now has no one by his side.

The toxicity of the audience

When he came back with the release of the mixtape, De Choat restrained himself, blocking comments from his fanpage to his YouTube channel.

A part of the audience dug up De Choat's past scandals, combining them with current developments to increase the pressure. Over the past two weeks, De Choat's music has been aired continuously but has attracted a modest number of views. On the contrary, the male rapper's posts have attracted a lot of attention.

The Rap Viet champion announced: "Back to normal, when I have free time I will make free music for the audience. Now I have to do push-ups, water the plants, feed the fish, and practice on the mic. Goodbye."

Sorry for Cricket

Before shining in Rap Viet, De Choat had a time of underground activities, also experienced many negative battles to affirm his position. With the Rap Viet launch pad, De Choat suddenly became famous, received support from many audiences and praise from colleagues.

After 4 years, the male rapper lost everything. He was alone in the middle of controversy, no rapper stood up to support him, and was even "kicked down" faster by his colleagues.

De Choat made mistakes from the "law of the jungle" aspects of the rap world. Until the latest mixtape, De Choat's music has not had any significant scratches to be criticized. The male rapper's personal life has not been involved in any scandals, to the point of receiving negative comments such as: "Stop rapping", "Give up music.

De Choat is still a unique personality in the Vietnamese music market. The male rapper's products after Rap Viet season one are not too famous, but they have their own style and still serve a group of audiences interested in this musical personality.

When De Choat said goodbye and let go of everything, the incident had reached a particularly serious level. However, putting the story together, with what De Choat caused, it was not enough to make the Rap Viet champion choose such a bad ending.
