14th December 2025 – (Hong Kong) As the year-end music awards season approaches, Hong Kong singer MC Cheung Tin-fu has again been drawn into speculation over alleged high-stakes gambling in Macao, with claims circulating that he ran up debts of several million. The rumours have prompted considerable discussion online.
Appearing at a concert yesterday alongside fellow artist Kaho Hung, Cheung addressed the reports with composure. He said that year-end periods routinely give rise to a flurry of stories, many of which are untrue, and urged the public to assess such claims critically. He told reporters he had already responded to the latest allegations, stressing that “none of it is true” and noting that scammers continually devise new tactics. Asked whether he would issue a formal statement, he replied that numerous clarifications already exist and that it would be impractical to respond to every rumour. However, he added that if any matter became more serious, he would consult his management company.
Cheung also rejected suggestions that the speculation was intended to influence awards outcomes, declining to comment directly but reflecting that public figures inevitably attract both admirers and detractors. He said he prefers to focus his attention on supporters. When asked if MC needed reassurance, Kaho Hung said it was unnecessary, adding that he knows Cheung’s character well and saw no need for further clarification.
