Was RM's "paved the way" comment in the rap verse of 'Neva Play' that problematic and why are netizens hating him for that?

There isn't an end to it, and here, I have just mentioned a few among many.
But, if the lyrics of Nevaplay are interpreted literally, RM/BTS did indeed pave the way for the literal global recognition of K-Pop in the mainstream sense and the inculcation of some of the significant K-Pop culture that K-Poppies seem to enjoy.
K-Poppies panties are in a twist because they can't digest facts and also hating RM is normalized in K-Pop hemisphere.
Why are people with Asperger syndrome unenthusiastic?
BTS fingerprints are over everything a typical K-Pop stan nowadays enjoys. The first act on vlive that popularized lives and was considered the primary revenue generator. BTS. YouTube shows? BTS. English subtitle? BTS. Fan platforms outside of Daum? BTS. Live-streamed concerts? BTS. Entirely English songs? BTS. Stadium tour? BTS. Performing in Grammy and various USA award shows? BTS. Even the various HYBE artists that enjoy collaboration and expansion today are based on the connection built during BTS's global expansion.
This particular rap genre is typically braggadocious, with more of a vibe than a literal interpretation of the words. Like random, I am the best statement in hip-hop. If you consider every random lyric you see in this kind of genre in the literal sense, then there is no end to it.
Did RM/BTS pave the way for the entirety of Asia? If you consider the words literally, then no. But, K-Pop? Yes. And that's why these lyrics should be taken as the typical braggadocious and vibey way rather than literal.
