Xuan Mai's father followed Thuy Nga to film content pretending to be a girl, countering the news of "rabling" her daughter's money

Recently, singer Tuan Canh - the biological father of the one-time "music prodigy" Xuan Mai - has continuously attracted attention when appearing in a series of funny videos on comedian Thuy Nga's channel in the US.

Different from the image of a silent man behind his daughter's career, Tuan Canh has now become vivacious, happy and often participates in incarnations with female artists.

Sometimes he pretends to be a girl, wears a red kimono, wears a dark blush, and then stands on a chair in a small garden; when she appeared in the parish priest's costume at Thuy Nga's hypothetical "wedding"; other times choose an elegant style with a shirt and tie.

In parallel with the above moments, over the past time, Tuan Canh has also faced many talks related to getting rich from his daughter - a problem he once denied.

Specifically, in a livestream with the appearance of singer Mai Thien Van, she brought a different perspective, revealing the professional relationship between her and Tuan Canh from more than 20 years ago.

According to Mai Thien Van, at that time she was only a singer specializing in singing in churches and association programs, and did not have a position or name on big stages. It was Tuan Canh who was the first to invite her to sing together and participate in joint projects. "There is one thing that makes me extremely appreciative of Mr. Tuan Canh. He was the first person to sing with me when I was not famous. I am indebted to him at that point. Mr. Tuan Canh also invited me to shoot some MVs," she said.

The singer added that at that time she was poor, singing only enough money to cover her life and studies, and completely unable to invest in the MV. Seeing that, Tuan Canh supported all the costs from inviting her to Phu Quoc to shoot the MV to releasing the tape. "I'm very happy. Thanks to singing with Mr. Tuan Canh, the show organizers knew me to invite me to sing professionally. Before that, if you wanted to stand on stages like Drum Dong or 126, you had to be a famous singer," Mai Thien Van shared.

She thinks that what makes her love the most is Tuan Canh's intense passion for art: "He loves art so much that he is willing to spend a lot of money to make art. No matter how much money you have, you spend it all."

Hearing these words again, Tuan Canh also confirmed. He said that he had been singing for a long time but had retreated backstage for 10 years to focus on supporting Xuan Mai. When his daughter became famous, he returned to the stage but mainly sang because of his passion. When it came time to meet Mai Thien Van, he liked her voice, so he took the initiative to invite him to cooperate. "I remember when I sang with Mai Thien Van, Xuan Mai was also about 8 years old," he said.

Regarding the rumor of getting rich thanks to his daughter, Tuan Canh denied. He said that the market for pirated tapes and discs at that time was too large, leading to the number of pirated discs sold ten times more than the official product. "Everyone thinks that when I work for Xuan Mai, I make a lot of money, but I don't. I sell one, then the pirated tapes and discs sell ten. I also have to make up for my own losses to have money to make a MV for Xuan Mai. Making a MV is very expensive. Everyone rumors that I'm rich, but I'm not rich," he added.

According to the male singer, in order to maintain the activities of his daughter and art products, he had to manage all kinds of jobs, making up for the losses here and there.

Xuan Mai's biological father went to a pho restaurant, unemployed in the US, and asked Thuy Nga to deliver goods.
