The music video "Chinese Daddy" stirred controversy after Wang Yifan performed an impromptu rap at Penn State’s Lantern Festival Gala, including the line "make Americans call us daddy." The performance upset several professors, including Professor Gong Chen, who criticized the nationalist tone. In response to the backlash, Wang released the "Chinese Daddy" video on YouTube, addressing critics and defending his freedom of expression. The song conveys nationalist pride, addressing both American and Chinese audiences, while provoking a debate over cultural identity and free speech.
