Vietnamese singer Mỹ Tâm faces AI‑generated deepfake controversy

Vietnamese pop star Mỹ Tâm drew online attention after the Argentine national team’s knockout‑stage victory at the 2026 World Cup, when fans expected her usual enthusiastic posts about Lionel Messi. Instead, her social‑media accounts remained silent, prompting speculation about her whereabouts.

MT Entertainment later issued an official warning, stating that AI‑generated images and videos of the singer had been fabricated and circulated online. The agency urged the public to verify information from official sources and warned that creating or sharing such false content could result in legal liability. The statement began with the headline “CẢNH BÁO THÔNG TIN, HÌNH ẢNH GIẢ MẠO CA SĨ MỸ TÂM.”
