Darren Espanto called out his fellow The Voice Kids alum JK Labajo on Twitter for allegedly tweeting about the former’s sexuality.

In a screenshot posted by Darren, it can be seen that JK tagged him in a tweet which read “gayness at its finest.” The tweet, allegedly made by a hacker, has since been deleted from JK’s account.

However, Darren refused to believe that JK was hacked, saying: “Timing ‘no? Dinelete ng “hacker” mo yung tweet na ‘to after kang kausapin ng management. Pag nahanap mo yung hacker mo puntahan niyo ako para malaman niyo kung sino yung totoong BAKLA. @KarlosLabajo.”

JK, whose gained a recent surge in popularity for his viral hit “Buwan,” made an indirect apology to Darren on Twitter but maintained that he did not write the tweet. The singer made a series of tweets explaining his side. 

Here are the screenshots of JK’s tweets:

“alam ko pagkakamaling ginawa ko kasi i was explaining myself out of anger. pasensiya na sa mga taong nasaktan sa mga salitang nabitawan ko.,” the Buwan singer said.

He continued: “and di ko lang kayang gawin ay humingi ng patawad sa mga bagay na hindi ko ginawa. mamatay man lahat ng tao na mahal ko at nagmamahal sakin per once and for all, hindi ako ang nag tweet nun at hindi siya ang pinaguusapan namin sa pbb dati. yun lang yun.”

In another tweet, the singer lamented that he would be bashed on social media whether he defends himself or not.

“it's so hard to defend yourself because the more you do it mas hindi na kapanipaniwala. pero kung tatahi-tahimik ka lang din, para ka naring nag admit na tama mga hinala nila. gulo ng sistema diba?,” JK said.

The “Buwan” singer then promoted his single “Sistema” in his last tweet, where he also responded to netizens’ comments.

One netizen said: “Sayang ka jk sana nagtrabaho ka nlang at wag na manira ng kapwa sana nsa sau ang simpatya ng mga tao sa paligid mo mahirap kasi ung nsa ganyan kang industriya tapos naninira ka ...”

To which JK replied: “again wala akong siniraan. i rest my case.”

Meanwhile, Darren has not made a response to JK’s denial. His original tweet from earlier today remains the latest tweet on his account.
