KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Popular Chinese Malaysian rapper and filmmaker Wee Meng Chee was released on police bail Thursday after being held for a week to assist in the investigation into the murder of a Taiwanese social media influencer.

The 42-year-old rapper, popularly known as Namewee, must report back to police on Nov. 26, said his lawyer Joshua Tay.

Police said Wee was the last person seen with Hsieh Yu-hsin, a Taiwanese influencer who was found dead in a hotel bathtub in Kuala Lumpur on Oct. 22. Police last week reclassified her death as murder. Hsieh, 31, had half a million followers on Instagram and also operated an OnlyFans account.

Wee turned himself in last Wednesday. He has also been earlier charged for drug possession and use, allegations he denied.
