Rapper Owen Says LE SSERAFIM 'Can't Sing Live' In Freestyle Rap On Instagram
South Korean rapper Owen shaded LE SSERAFIM on Instagram.
On Tuesday, Owen posted a short video of his freestyle rap on the social media platform. In the video, he was grooving to the beat, holding what appeared to be an airsoft rifle while rapping.
In his rap he called "LE SSERAFIM's 'Easy' remix," he shaded the group with the line, "LE SSERAFIM, easy easy / It's no secret that they can't sing live," per AllKPop's English translation.
"I am the Korean 'Easy.' / Don't start trouble or I'm going to shoot you all. / Bang, bang, bang," he continued while pointing the rifle at the camera.
After receiving backlash from FEARNOT, LE SSERAFIM's fandom, Owen disabled the comments section of his post.
He also edited his post's caption, writing, "@le_sserafim. MC Big. MC Bigcap is purely for fun, puns [are] intended for creative purpose[s] only. I appreciate you all regardless."
