Who is rapper Ngan: singing about failed marriage, making B Ray cry, causing a storm?

Ngan is a male rapper with a unique performance style, sharp and approachable rap lyrics. However, few people know that behind his successful career is an emotional personal story.

Rapper Ngan's real name is Pham Duc Thanh, born on September 3, 1995 (currently 29 years old). He was born and raised in Hai Phong but had the opportunity to develop in Ho Chi Minh City. The name Ngan is associated with many outstanding songs such as EP Bui Thien Than (2022), Noi Tao Sinh Ra (2021), Hom Nay Ta Vui (2021).

The male rapper made his mark when participating in King Of Rap 2020, where he was highly appreciated for his emotional performances combining singing and melody. However, he admitted that his rap did not show his full potential due to the pressure from the big stage.

Audiences know rapper Ngan through his emotional and "real life" raps. But behind the spotlight, he also has to go through many ups and downs and struggle with difficulties.

Rapper Ngan and Hai Yen first met at a show when Hai Yen's brother was invited by Ngan's group and she went with him. At that time, they only met briefly, Hai Yen also did not know who Ngan was, partly because at that time he was still dating and going with his ex-girlfriend.

It was not until later, when he was single, that they started connecting through social networks. Hai Yen did not hesitate to take the initiative to "flirt" with sweet and subtle words. In one of Ngan's photos, she once left a comment that attracted attention: "Come to Saigon and I will support you."

With just that seemingly joking sentence, they gradually became closer. And just as Yen said, Ngan not only entered her life but also became the ideal companion on every journey.

Hai Yen gradually learned who Ngan was through Facebook and quickly developed feelings for him. After only 6 months of dating, she accepted Ngan's proposal on his birthday while they were both traveling in Can Gio. But that beautiful love story also came with many challenges because at that time they were only 18 years old, too young to prepare for marriage.

When Hai Yen became pregnant, the news surprised her family. On the day Ngan came to ask for her hand in marriage, Hai Yen's father could not hold back his tears because he was worried about his daughter. After all, their love overcame all difficulties and ended with a warm wedding.

After getting married, storms came when Ngan discovered he had tuberculosis. This was the most difficult period for the young couple, they had to sell all their wedding gold and property for treatment. Ngan's health affected both the family's finances and Hai Yen's psychology. But thanks to perseverance and love, he recovered and was happier when their first son turned 1 year old.

In 2024, the male rapper continued his career to affirm his name when he participated in the program Rap Viet season 4 as a contestant. In a recent interview, he revealed that he had been divorced for a long time and was currently a single father taking care of his young son named Dua. Notably, Ngan also confirmed that he was dating singer Olew.

Sharing about the difficult period after the divorce, Ngan confided: "At that time, I fell into a psychological crisis, like being lost in an uncertain space, not knowing what to do. Life became meaningless, although I still tried to get up to take care of Dua, my soul was still not truly healed. In the midst of that difficult time, Olew appeared, lifted my spirit and helped me realize the value of loving and cherishing the people around me."

Ngan also expressed his deep gratitude to his girlfriend for taking care of Dua and always being by her side at work, sharing all the joys and sorrows with the male rapper. That is why in the first round of Rap Viet, he composed the first song dedicated to her.

Recently, in the Breakthrough round, Ngan wrote a song inspired by his own story. The 29-year-old rapper is a single father, divorced when his son was young. The boy went back to his hometown to live with his grandparents, while he stayed in the city. Every time they met, the boy said he wanted to live with his father, but he had a hard time explaining the situation. Through the song, the rapper wanted to convey his deepest feelings to his son.

The song was written by the rapper like a letter, opening with a flashback to the time when he first broke up. Ngan calls his child "friend" and uses the pronoun "I", singing about the day he held his child, "tears bursting out in front of the failure that came with the pain".

He regretted it, thinking that he was selfish for burning the family photos, tormented every time he saw his son missing his mother. For the rapper, the days after the breakup were spent in drinking. When he saw his son's milk cartons, he woke up. Rocker Hai Bot - former member of the group Micro - contributed his voice as a guest, singing the chorus.

The performance moved the studio audience and the judges. Karik said that when he heard Ngan rap, he no longer focused on the technical elements because the song contained a lot of emotions, highly appreciating the combination of the contestant with Hai Bot. B Ray - Ngan's coach - shed tears when watching his performance, saying that the lyrics resonated with him. "The first time I heard this song, I cried while sitting in my room alone. Rarely has a song moved me so much," he said. Big Daddy believes that the song will leave a mark not only in this year's competition, but also in the following seasons.

Despite being praised, Ngan received a lower vote score than 7dnight - the winner of Group A of the Breakthrough round, so he had to leave. Ngan is from Hai Phong, famous in the rap music community in recent years. In 2020, he competed in King of Rap 2020, attracting attention with performances in the melodic rap genre (rap music combined with easy-to-listen melodies). He attracted attention with his compositions: I want to be like that boat that rushed into you and then sank, Before this youth closed the way.
