When the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Culture and Sports invited him to work, B Ray and his team admitted their mistakes. To correct the mistake (before receiving the administrative decision), B Ray removed the rap song from the social media platform.
With lyrics like wishing for an ex-lover to get a serious illness (I hope you beat cancer/ Only to get cancer again), or encounter bad luck (Everything you plan will fail), cursing her (I wish you no one will visit you when you are sick/ Come home on the 1st and 15th/ I hope every time you climb the stairs your leg will slip/ I wish you die peacefully in bed)... in the song "De ai can", the audience will shake their heads in dismay and will be worried if these lyrics are spread or promoted. Before being removed, the song attracted nearly 600,000 views after only 3 days, entering the top 9 trending music.

The popularity of rapper B Ray, even the "idol" of many young rappers, a rap song like "De ai can" will be a toxic dish, a poison that damages the thinking of listeners, especially young people who have not clearly defined their own thinking. Of course, if we consider it from the "fun" aspect, "De ai can" may just be a joke (somewhat toxic) or "rap is a street music genre, directly expressing the thinking and concepts of young people", then perhaps "De ai can" reflects the true nature of the music genre imported from Western streets.
Vietnamese audiences are not afraid to accept new things, but everything needs to be controlled within the allowed limits. In a culture that is deeply Asian, always attaching importance to symbolic and exemplary cultural values, statements, even if justified as just jokes, should be condemned.
Eradicating a cruel and vulgar rap is a necessary solution. However, that probably won't be able to completely eradicate the wrong thinking of many young people who think vulgar lyrics are "cool" and "cool". Musician Vo Thien Thanh was very concerned when rap was promoted by building many rap programs and playgrounds - a type of playground for a music genre that contains many risks as the audience has seen.
Previously, the audience witnessed bad rap songs that were punished, such as the song "Censored" by rapper Chi Ca (written about the incestuous relationship between father-in-law and daughter-in-law with obscene language). The Rap Nha Lam group also caused outrage when releasing the rap song "Thich Ca Mau Chi" with blasphemous content about Buddhism, containing seriously offensive images. Rapper Binh Gold with the MV "Lai may bay" has images and lyrics such as: "Em muon lua chi (Let's go). Just met for the first time, I wanted to lua chi (Love always)...". Singer Phi Phuong Anh with the MV "Cam khong ai dung co khong em" contains extremely nonsense and vulgar lyrics. The MV "Cypher nha lam" released by Low G, Teddie J, Chi, ResQ, talks about flirting and having sex. The song "Mây thất may" by BigDaddy has lyrics that many audiences believe refer to women's bodies...
It must be understood fairly that not all rap is at risk of being vulgar. Many rappers have created rap songs that are full of humanity and meaning. However, it is urgent to eliminate "low" music as soon as possible because art cannot have "dirty" thoughts or be exhausted in ideas and words.
