Phao: Short-haired rapper "diss" ViruSs, once defeated HIEUTHUHAI, music reaches international level?

Phao is known as one of the most influential young rappers at the moment. She also receives many invitations to perform at major shows and events and has a large fan base.

Phao (or Phao Northside) real name is Nguyen Dieu Huyen, born March 28, 2003 in Tuyen Quang, is a Vietnamese female rapper, singer and songwriter. She is a student at Hanoi College of Art in 2020.

Phao became widely known through the song "2 minutes more" (released in 2020). The reason for choosing the stage name Phao is because it symbolizes passion, although in an interview, the female rapper said that it originated from the name of a character in the sitcom "Kim Chi Ca Phao".

Phao started her career as a rapper in 2018 and used to admire Cardi B and Kimmese. She didn't gain public recognition until the release of her song "2 Minutes More" (a collaboration with Vietnamese producer and DJ Masew), which garnered over 30 million views. Kaiz's remix of the song went viral worldwide and topped the Shazam music chart.

In 2020, Phao participated in the show "King of Rap", the season with HIEUTHUHAI. When she first appeared on stage, the female rapper was considered by many to be a promising face thanks to her flexible composing and rapping abilities. Many people also affectionately called her "rap princess".

Song Phao said she prefers to be considered a "warrior" because she likes to explore, discover new things and always move forward. In the end, the female rapper won the runner-up position while HIEUTHUHAI entered the Top 5 with the title of Most Favorite Contestant.

"Coming out of 'King of Rap' as runner-up was my luck and I also feel that this position is worthy of me. I could not have become Champion because at that time I still had many shortcomings, and I would not have been able to withstand the pressure of the Champion position," the female rapper said.

In 2021, Phao released a new version of the song "2 Minutes More" in collaboration with Vietnamese-American rapper Tyga. In 2023, she was honored to represent Vietnam to attend two cultural exchange programs: Asia Song Festival in Korea and Round Festival in Indonesia.

After more than 6 years of operation, Phao has established a certain position in the entertainment industry. Not only that, she is also on the list of Top 5 official nominees for the 2024 Dedication Award.

Regarding her personal life, Phao once had a relationship with rapper Tez, which received a lot of public attention. However, in 2023, the couple "went their separate ways", but still maintained a friendship, behaving civilly and politely when referring to each other. Since then, the female rapper has rarely mentioned her love life and has not made her new love public.

In recent days, the noisy breakup of ViruSs and Ngoc Kem has taken over social media. People are constantly caught up in the back and forth arguments between these two characters. Right at the time the controversy erupted, Phao appeared with the rap "Su Nghiep Chuong" which, whether intentionally or unintentionally, "added fuel to the fire".

The content of this song is a girl's accusation against her ex-lover. No one knows if this is Phao's own story, or if the female rapper is speaking on behalf of someone else. However, netizens discovered that the lyrics of the song contain many details that match the information that Ngoc Kem "exposed" ViruSs.

Among them, there are 4 bars that caused explosive controversy: "Making diss music like this is too nice / Which girl is an employee / Which girl is a partner?", or "That night, he took her into a small room / Closed, just listening to it, you know the current story is happening in the movie".

In particular, at the end of the song "The Karma of Obstacles" there is also a male voice. The tone and way of speaking is 90% similar to ViruSs. From this, the audience deduces that Phao is the person involved, one of the girls who is hanging out with the male streamer according to Ngoc Kem?

Another opinion is that Phao may not be the person involved and the female rapper is just representing someone else to describe this drama. But regardless of the scenario, the appearance of the song is a shock to diss rap culture in particular and Vietnamese music in general. Phao's ambiguity in the goal of making the product is the main factor that helps "Su Nghiep Chuong" be talked about a lot.

Previously, Phao attracted attention when posting a confession on his personal story: "That day I cried like rain but still thought and blamed myself for whether I misunderstood him. Thank you for helping me realize and thank you girls out there for daring to stand up and move on."

Phao's move at the time of the tense love drama once again made the online community suspect that she had been in a relationship with ViruSs. On social networking forums, netizens also actively dug up images and connections between the two in the past.

Along with that, many people also questioned Ngoc Kem's ability to spread rumors, so Phao revealed his story? Social networks even appeared a post causing a stir with the content of Phao's manager and Ngoc Kem's manager confiding in each other and just discovered that the talent knew the same person.

In response to the series of rumors, PV contacted Phao and her management company gave an official response. Specifically, the female rapper shared: "All the information currently circulating online is unofficial. We completely deny any inaccurate information related to the artist's private life, hoping that the audience and readers will focus more on the artist's artistic activities instead of dramatic information."

But the story didn't stop there when recently the male lead ViruSs had an awkward reaction to Phao's new music. At the beginning of the video, ViruSs shared that many people sent him this song, and thought it was for him. "I don't know if it's true, but Phao has a new song so I reacted. Maybe people saw the word 'career' and associated it with me," the 8X streamer expressed.

Throughout the video, ViruSs kept praising Phao's beat, visuals, and musical thinking. He exclaimed: "This song is so good", "Is it me", "Oh my, it tickles"... Finally, the male streamer sent a message to Phao: "If you dedicate this song to me, I thank you. First, this song is so good. Second, this could also be the motivation for you to release such a good song. I didn't expect Phao to be so miserable". Many people think that he was trying to pretend that he was okay when listening to "Su Nghiep Chuong".

ViruSs officially declared war on rapper Phao, saying harsh words aimed at the "eye of the storm" Pinky09:00:30 24/03/2025Amidst the noise surrounding him, ViruSs made a move that went into the eye of the storm, when he announced his reaction to the song "Unfortunate Career". Perhaps, the male streamer is not afraid of public opinion.
