Wajijiwa Entertainment has firmly denied circulating claims that Mao Buyi has ended his contract, issuing a legal-backed statement on 3 April to shut down what it describes as false and misleading information spreading across Chinese social platforms.
The rumour, which gained traction on sites including Weibo and Xiaohongshu, suggested that Mao Buyi had mutually agreed to terminate his management deal with Wajijiwa Entertainment.
The claim quickly snowballed, fuelling online speculation over the singer’s next career move and prompting widespread debate among fans and industry watchers.
In its official clarification, Wajijiwa Entertainment stated unequivocally that no such contract termination had taken place.
The company further alleged that some posts included a fabricated “termination statement” bearing a forged company seal, calling the material entirely baseless and damaging to both the artist and the agency.
The statement, issued through legal representatives, stressed that the spread of such content may constitute a violation of reputation rights.
It also confirmed that the company is monitoring online activity and gathering evidence against accounts responsible for distributing the claims.

The agency urged users to delete any related posts, including images, and comments deemed defamatory or inaccurate.
It also called on the public to verify information before sharing, warning against amplifying unverified narratives that could harm those involved.
Some fans expressed relief at the clarification, arguing the rumour never aligned with Mao Buyi’s long-standing association with the company.
Others questioned how the alleged fake document gained such traction, pointing to ongoing concerns about misinformation in digital fan spaces. A smaller but vocal group of netizens used the moment to reflect more broadly on industry dynamics, including trust, management structures, and the pressures artists face behind the scenes.
Posts circulating after the clarification highlighted Mao Buyi’s decade-long journey in the spotlight, with fans emphasising his consistent image and connection with his audience.
The tone, however, has largely shifted from speculation to cautious support following the agency’s firm response.
In this case, Wajijiwa Entertainment has moved quickly to contain the narrative, signalling a zero-tolerance stance on misinformation and document falsification.
What happens next may depend less on legal follow-through and more on how effectively the conversation stabilises online. For now, both Mao Buyi and his agency appear aligned in shutting down the noise and maintaining continuity.
