Singer Pran Pranthip Addresses Birthday Song Miscommunication
Thai singer Pran Pranthip says she has faced nearly a year of backlash after a misunderstanding about not performing 'Happy Birthday' at a show. She says the false claim has been repeatedly tied to her pregnancy, leaving her feeling unsafe as her due date approaches, and she is demanding the individual responsible stop the comments. Pranthip adds that she has pursued legal avenues but continues to suffer anxiety and professional setbacks.
Pran Pranthip recounts that on July 6, 2025, after a performance she thanked fans and took photos as usual, with no intention of refusing to sing 'Happy Birthday.' A communication error led to claims she had declined the song, resulting in backlash, cancelled work, and jokes that affected her mentally. Although she pursued legal action, the case ended in mediation and a withdrawn lawsuit, with the other party agreeing to apologize—yet the apology was quickly removed after she posted about it. She says fans have repeatedly sent her screenshots showing the same individual resurfacing the issue whenever she is mentioned, and recent comments have begun linking the controversy to her unborn child, which she finds unacceptable. The singer says the year-long ordeal has caused her to lose work opportunities, endure ridicule, and suffer anxiety, especially now that she is close to giving birth and fears for her child's safety.
