Rapper Namewee is currently in police custody over the death of OnlyFans model Iris Hsieh — but that hasn’t stopped him from releasing new music.
The Malaysian artist, who was named a “person of interest” by authorities after being identified as the last person to see Hsieh before her death, released a song titled “Very Shaui” on Spotify on Wednesday, November 5 — the same day he reportedly surrendered to police. The song title translates to “Very Handsome,” according to Google Translate.
Hsieh, a Taiwanese influencer, was found dead in a bathtub at a Kuala Lumpur hotel on Wednesday, October 22. She was 31. Police announced on Tuesday, November 4, that the model had been murdered.
Known to her fans as “Nurse Goddess,” Hsieh was reportedly meeting with Namewee, 42, to discuss a video project.
“For now, we regard this person who was last with the victim as being involved in the case,” City Police Chief Datuk Fadil Marsus told reporters, according to New Straits Times, of Namewee.

“We will be calling him in to assist in the investigation. Depending on the findings, we will decide whether he should be treated as a suspect,” he added.
A lawyer for Namewee confirmed he surrendered to police early Wednesday and was placed under remand for six days, according to the Associated Press.
Days before turning himself in, Namewee, whose real name is Wee Meng Chee, was arrested after testing positive for amphetamines, methamphetamine, ketamine and THC — charges he pleaded not guilty to.
On Sunday, November 2, the “Strangers in the North” rapper — who has one of the most popular Chinese music videos on YouTube — denied using drugs in an Instagram post, in which he expressed his “deepest condolences” over Hsieh’s death and added that the ambulance took “nearly an hour” to arrive, per a translation by ChatGPT.
