Preap Sovath has backed down on threats of legal action against a farmer who named a stud bull after him, the singer said on Friday.
The nation's most popular singer-actor, 36, had threatened legal action against the owner of a $10 000 Brahman breeding bull named after the sex symbol.
Sovath was quoted in a range of local media to be taking action to protect his wife, who had reportedly become distressed after seeing advertisements offering the services of the bovine Preap Sovath for $100 per mating, with satisfaction guaranteed.
But Friday the Cambodian equivalent of Ronan Keating said he would not be taking any action.
"No, no, no. I don't care anymore and I am too busy," Sovath said by telephone.
Theories for the change of heart abound, including a rumour it was partly due to the unsuitability of alternative names offered by the farmer.
A moniker such as 'Little Preap' was unlikely to enhance the careers of either the bovine or bopping version of the star, fans admitted.
