Nas Academy recently reached out to Whang-Od amid the controversy surrounding the traditional tattoo artist's online course on the learning platform.
The company founded by vlogger Nuseir Yassein, more popularly known as Nas Daily, visited Whang-Od in Kalinga last Friday for a "customary reconciliation process" with the aid of the National Commission of Indigenous Peoples ."Our genuine focus is on education, and our efforts to showcase the culture of the Butbut tribe [were] misunderstood," Lim said. "At that moment, [we said] 'Okay, let us schedule this visit.
Last August, Whang-Od's grandniece called out Nas Academy for being a "scam," saying that the artist did not sign any contract to do a tattoo course. NCIP later stepped in to do a review, and found that "Whang-od did not consent or was made aware to teach the art of traditional tattooing in Nas Academy." It added that the so-called contract was "grossly onerous" to the artist.
