Jay Chou Furious, Publicly Calls Out Missing Magician Friend—Rumored Insider Story Involves Tens of Millions in Disputes

Jay Chou (Jay) was rarely seen angry yesterday as he publicly searched for his magician friend Tsai Wei-ze! He even wrote: “This guy has disappeared for a while, kept giving all kinds of excuses, and I believed them all, just so you could finish your performance.” He then threatened, “You think I’m not a magician? If you don’t show up, you’re finished.” Afterwards, Tsai Wei-ze posted a black background with white text stating, “I will be taking a break from social media for a while.” Yesterday (16th), the reason for their falling out was rumored to involve a financial dispute amounting to over hundreds of millions in TWD (about 13.78 million MYR), with Chou reportedly unable to reach Tsai for months, prompting this public search. Chou’s record company JVR did not respond before the deadline.

Jay Chou has always valued loyalty, often having his close friends support him as guest performers at concerts or join him on shows like "J-Style Trip 3"; Tsai Wei-ze was one of them. According to Mirror Media, Chou has been searching for Tsai Wei-ze for several months, and the dispute involves hundreds of millions of TWD (about 13.78 million MYR), which has also resulted in third-party losses.

As a result, the normally good-natured and amiable Jay was infuriated and uncharacteristically posted a public message searching for him. Tsai Wei-ze unilaterally “lost contact” with Jay, with a debt dispute breaking out with the superstar. JVR has not responded, and Tsai Wei-ze cannot be found, but managed to repost on his IG Story: “Will temporarily suspend use of social media.” Journalists have yet to receive a reply after privately messaging his IG.
