Phi Nhung speaks out about the news of abandoning her biological daughter in the US for more than 20 years

For the first time, the overseas singer shared information that she does not raise and take care of her biological daughter despite adopting many children in Vietnam.

Phi Nhung is always busy with her domestic and international performance schedule. She said she works hard to earn money to support her children and help many disadvantaged people everywhere.

Phi Nhung frankly shares about the rumors surrounding her abandoning her biological daughter.

Meeting her at a book launch event, Phi Nhung performed a song in the program and quickly went to the airport to return to the US to perform. The overseas singer frankly responded to the mixed comments surrounding her.

Like to do difficult work that no one dares to do

- You are loved by the audience, but recently many people have objected and boycotted you because you accepted to be the image ambassador of a scandalous product. Why did you choose something that would damage your reputation like that?

- I like doing difficult things that few people dare to do. Moreover, before accepting that brand's offer, I observed and researched carefully, not just accepting it carelessly.

Many people think I have a close relationship with the brand leader. No, I just happened to meet them at an event. Afterwards, I asked them why they treat consumers like that?

I took the risk of doing the difficult job of being their image representative, wanting to contribute to regaining their customers’ trust. I prayed to God that if I had a sincere heart, I would be able to help them.

- What do you think when the audience thinks you accept being boycotted because of money?

- In life, only God and Buddha can see through my heart. Ordinary people only look at the surface but cannot see through my heart. Only God and Buddha can make me lose all my money and ruin my family. I am afraid of God's harm, but people's harm will only last for a moment and then pass.

I think it's fine to do anything that doesn't go against my conscience. When I was an image representative, I never asked them how much they would pay me.

I proactively asked them to let me be their image representative. I don’t accept money, but if possible, I would like them to help the orphans I am raising, help the poor build bridges…

I live a simple life, I don't eat fancy food or wear designer clothes, so I don't need a lot of money. I even told them: "If you talk about money, you insult me."

I was scolded by Mr. Hoai Linh many times.

- In the past, when you were a judge, you often had opposing opinions with your colleagues. Are you someone who is not afraid to clash?

- When I agreed to be a judge, I wanted to learn more communication skills and experience from my seniors. I am honest by nature, I say what I think, I cannot say flowery words. I did not speak skillfully and was too honest, so I offended many candidates.

- How is your relationship with your colleagues after disagreements or when they scolded you on TV?

- I often sit as a judge with my seniors who are my masters in the profession. It is normal for them to correct me when I say something wrong. I am also grateful because I get to learn more and I am not resentful. Mr. Hoai Linh and Ms. Y Lan corrected what I said, I was very happy. How can I be equal to them? I am a junior. For me, giving feedback is very normal. I live honestly. Those who do not understand do not like me, but those who understand, everyone loves me.

- Is it true that when you were a judge with famous singer Y Lan, you made her angry many times because of your lateness and star attitude?

- I have never shown myself to anyone. Ms. Ý Lan has never been angry with me. When doing a program, it is not uncommon for one person to be late, another person to be late. If I am late, the first thing I say is always to apologize to everyone. If I do something wrong, Ms. Ý Lan scolds me right away. She and I have been singing together for a long time in the US. She understands me very well.

- Artists have sensitive souls, can you really handle criticism?

- Not only in the hot seat, in real life, I am also scolded by Hoai Linh all the time. I am the younger brother that everyone teaches and loves. The people who scold me are the ones who love me. I know what I am right and wrong, so I listen to all of my seniors' comments.

I am a person without parents, the reason I am here today is because of many good people who helped me, guided me in every word, speech and life experience.

I still care about outsiders, so why abandon my own child?

- You and Mr. Manh Quynh also often "cut and slash" on the hot seat. How are you in real life?

- Normally, everyone lives their own life. When working, I think everything is fine. We are friends, but when we are wrong, we argue and when we are right, we forget. However, when we are off stage, we are close friends.

Even when I kissed Manh Quynh, Quynh's wife was not jealous because she understood my personality and job. She is my best friend. I was the matchmaker for Quynh and her.

- After many years of keeping your daughter a secret, you have only now made it public. Why is that when you are comfortable sharing about your adopted child?

- I don't want to share much about my daughter at this time. I respect my daughter so before saying anything I have to discuss and ask her opinion. I don't even turn on my daughter's phone without her consent.

- There is information from the US that you have paid little attention to your biological child, and even abandoned him for many years. What do you say about this?

- I care about outsiders, so why can't I care about my own children? Those rumors are completely untrue./.
