The music video Nguoi im lang gap nguoi hay noi, released on March 9, has so far reached 2.1 million views – a relatively strong figure compared with the current music market.
The MV draws attention as the rapper and photo model Joan Tina portray a couple with opposite personalities – one quiet and reserved, the other talkative and lively.
The pair appear affectionate, enjoying a sweet and innocent young romance. A photobooth scene in the MV has been interpreted by viewers as referencing a real-life moment when private photobooth images of HIEUTHUHAI and his girlfriend – hot girl Babyboo – were leaked in 2025.
Despite its decent performance, the release has sparked controversy. On social media, many of the mixed reactions focus on HIEUTHUHAI choosing to sing even though critics say his vocal ability and technique remain weak.
Instead of concentrating on rap – his core strength – HIEUTHUHAI continues to sing in the new track. Some listeners have criticized his voice as flat and thin, with immature delivery, unclear pronunciation, forced phrasing, and a slightly lisping tone.
In fact, the rapper previously faced similar criticism when releasing the MV Nuoc mat ca sau. The large amount of singing in Nguoi im lang gap nguoi hay noi suggests he remains determined to pursue a direction as a singer and multi-talented artist.
The new song has been described as easy to listen to and gentle, with potential to become a hit. However, some listeners say it plays too safe and lacks a memorable highlight.
Others have also criticized the title Nguoi im lang gap nguoi hay noi, saying it feels cheap and follows an online trend.
