In January 2019, he announced on Weibo he would no longer record "Roast!" In 2020, he entered a financial dispute with Xiaoguo Culture to terminate his contract, and publicly revealed that China CITIC Bank had illegally disclosed his two-year bank transaction records without consent, sparking widespread controversy that led to the branch manager's dismissal and a later fine for the bank. In August 2020, he announced a peaceful settlement and contract termination with Xiaoguo Culture. In November 2020, he signed with Mengyang Culture and held his first live stand-up show in Shanghai. In November 2021, he announced deleting his Weibo account and criticized the platform's public opinion environment. In 2023, he was reportedly blocked on multiple Chinese internet platforms after his North American comedy tour due to content involving sensitive Chinese topics, and in 2026 he began a new tour in Japan, later extending to Taiwan, Malaysia, and Singapore.
