Controversial rapper Namewee is fighting to restore his YouTube channel, which fell prey to hackers, resulting in hundreds of his videos disappearing overnight.
Lamenting on Facebook, he said his channel which he has operated for 13 years, had been hacked by someone in Russia.
He also took the opportunity to voice his support for Ukraine following the Russian invasion.
The rapper’s Taiwanese agent told The Taipei Times that his management team had reached out to YouTube for assistance in restoring the music videos and related comments after they vanished overnight and the title of his channel changed from “Namewee” to something else in Russian.
Prior to the hacking, his channel had recorded 3.27 million subscribers and 1,432,644,663 views.
