In the clip, Namewee said the suit was over his December 14 clip where he had accused Star Planet of having a hand in the cancellation.

 

Namewee Drunk & Screw again! 演唱會再度被取消? 黃明志喝醉幹人+爆料15分鐘. 錢不要賺了通通捐出去!!!

當你決定往別人身上灑汽油的時候, 你就要準備好別人也會抱著你衝向火海. 有時候我們做很多事情不是爲了錢和利益. 只是純粹看不慣某些人橫行霸道想討回公道而已. I believe there is fairness and justice in Malaysia… Do you? 【黃明志Namewee 4896 Final Call】購票鏈接 Ticket On Sale: https://myticket.asia/#event=34665763

“But I made the comments when I was drunk. It is not wrong,” he said in a video.

“Never mind then, I will seek out my lawyer friends and see who can help me.”

Despite the cancellation by Star Planet, Namewee took it upon himself to have the concert on December 31 which eventually saw a crowd of 10,000 filling Axiata Arena.

Proceeds from the concert were later donated to non-governmental organisations without political background.

On the suit, Namewee said he does not have RM10 million.

“My nett worth does not even reach RM10 million. Furthermore, with the movement control order, I can’t even perform on stage.”

Namewee told Oriental Daily News that he did not have anything to add to what was said in the video.

Meanwhile, Star Planet's chief operating officer Carmen Liew told the daily that the company decided to sue Wee as his actions had defamed the company's brand and company managing director Datuk Alan Foo.

He added that Wee's allegations are all lies and was seeking justice through legal means.
