"He's basically following the footsteps of teeth-pulling Mong (MC Mong)."

"He doesn't even have any hit tracks and isn't good at writing any songs... Is he being funny?"

"He's a sexual offender. What does he mean by a return to the music industry?"

"Why are these criminal celebrities and politicians so brazen?"

"I thought he was moving abroad!"

"So shameless."

"Who would listen to a sexual criminal's music?"

"Just emigrate and don't return to the music industry."

"I don't think there would be singers who would use his music."

"With what confidence is he returning?"

"Wow, he's just amazing, isn't he? He needs to just live a quiet life. Isn't he embarrassed?"

"Buzz off. Was he inspired in prison? He needs to keep his prison songs to himself."

"How dare does he think about making a return?"
