Mr. Cuong accused Jack of lying about receiving a shirt and dinner from Messi.
On September 8, businessman Pham Ngoc Quoc Cuong continued to post articles related to the controversy over Jack's MV "From Where I Was Born" and the story of spending money to meet Messi.
Businessman Quoc Cuong accused Jack of lying about receiving a shirt from Messi during a meeting last May.
Along with the article, Mr. Cuong provided 2 more videos, affirming that the male singer born in 1997 lied about receiving a shirt from Messi, having dinner...
"There was absolutely no such thing as having dinner with Messi. Instead, I went there to have dinner, waited for Messi and his friends to finish eating, then asked to take a photo and sign it. As for the shirt with Messi's signature, because I don't have any meaningful shirts, I even borrowed that shirt from me to sign.
The day before the press conference, I sent it in for you to use. There is absolutely no way Messi gave me the shirt," the businessman wrote.
Mr. Quoc Cuong also questioned when, how, and when Jack asked Messi for permission to put the superstar's image in the MV.
"If you have Messi's consent to use his image in the MV, please provide it so people don't misunderstand. Please provide it to protect yourself.
All world stars work through text, email, their media channels. When it was time to meet Messi, I received the same information.
Is it possible that the inclusion of Messi's image in an artist's music video, which Messi doesn't know, was agreed upon verbally? You yourself are someone who can't speak the language, so is it possible that you communicate through eye contact?", Mr. Cuong asked.
Finally, Mr. Cuong confirmed that he would not hold a press conference as planned. This was the last time he spoke up to clarify the inaccuracies in the trip that had been very difficult to connect.
Mr. Cuong denied taking advantage of the noise to become famous.
Currently, the noise between Mr. Quoc Cuong and Jack still attracts public attention. Many sources say that thanks to this incident, Mr. Cuong has become more known.
Especially when, during the noisy days, on September 6, Mr. Quoc Cuong's personal Facebook page had a blue tick.
Mr. Pham Ngoc Quoc Cuong and Jack watched a match together in France.
However, Mr. Pham Ngoc Quoc Cuong's representative affirmed: "We are businessmen and have no need to be famous. In fact, Mr. Cuong is already famous in this field. Quoc Cuong has also appeared in the press for a long time.
Before, many people invited us to become a blue tick on Facebook but we didn't want to. If we really wanted to increase our followers, we only needed to spend a very small amount of money."
As for Jack, he did not speak out about the suspicion of taking advantage of meeting and using Messi's image as a springboard to return to music after personal scandals.
During the past few days, the meeting with Messi has only been associated with his own meaning: "Meeting his idol in the flesh makes Jack feel inspired."
Spend a lot of money to meet idols
Before the scandal between Jack and Mr. Quoc Cuong broke out, the activity of fans willing to spend a lot of money to meet their idols took place more than 10 years ago.
Businessman Mushref Al-Ghamdi spent more than 60 billion VND to meet Ronaldo and Messi in a friendly match between the stars of the Saudi Arabian National Championship and PSG taking place on January 19, 2023.
Most recently, in early January 2023, Saudi Arabian businessman Mushref Al-Ghamdi spent 2.6 million USD (more than 60 billion VND) to win the privilege of meeting Ronaldo and Messi in a friendly match.
With this powerful ticket, he not only gets to watch the match in a luxurious area with the best view, but is also allowed to attend the post-match honor ceremony, even enter the locker rooms of the two teams to meet the two football superstars.
In fact, many football clubs are constantly launching service packages for wealthy fan groups with many special incentives, including meeting the team's players.

Accordingly, owners of this package will enjoy a 4-course dinner (soup, appetizer, main course and dessert), enjoy Champagne, visit the traditional room and stadium, and have a separate seat to watch the match.
This service package also allows fans to meet a player in the first team.
