Rapper Achillo was heavily criticized after several netizens discovered his old Facebook post that was suspected of mocking RM BTS. In his post, Achillo mentioned that RM ruined his collaboration song with Gaeko Dynamic Duo.

"The rap god meets the 'Rap Retard', how is that possible? Haha I will only listen to Gaeko's part," the rapper wrote on his Facebook page.

This, of course, sparked anger among the ARMY. Many of them felt offended by Archillo's words. However, Archillo didn't feel guilty about his post and stood firm with his opinion.

Not only Achillo, but another rapper, B-Free, also made an impolite comment about Suga and RM BTS. He mentioned that idols like them are not worthy to be called rappers.

"You can choose to be a rapper, but you can't resist the temptation. Can BTS's music be called hip hop? Is wearing makeup like women on stage hip hop?" B-Free said.

BTS and their fans couldn't stay silent after hearing the comment. BTS even released a track to respond to B-Free's comment. The rapper eventually apologized for his harsh comment. However, he still received criticism from several netizens.

3. Yuya Tegoshi

Former member of NEWS, Yuya Tegoshi recently released his photo essay. This Japanese idol mentioned BTS and TWICE in the essay. He stated that if he could speak English and his group had members from other countries, they could also be successful like BTS and TWICE.

"If we learn English like BTS and have international members like TWICE, we will be number one in the world and even enter the Billboard chart," he wrote in the essay.

This has made many fans angry. The writing is considered to underestimate the hard work of idols, especially BTS and TWICE.

Member iKON is also suspected of once mocking RM in one of his rap lyrics. In 2014, Bobby collaborated with Masta Wu in a song titled 'Come Here.' In the song, there are lyrics that fans suspect as a mockery towards RM.

"Call me a monster, I didn't give that name to myself. I'm Won Bin in front of bulletproof glass, now it's about skill and appearance," that's how the lyrics of the song go.

Speculations arose because of the words 'monster' and 'bulletproof glass.' As known, RM is an abbreviation for Rap Monster. Meanwhile, BTS itself is an acronym for Bulletproof Boy Scouts.
