- Renowned singer Jed Madela distances himself from young singer Darren Espanto because of malicious rumors
- He said that it has already damaged their friendship and now it’s not the same as before
Due to rampant rumors linking veteran performer Jed Madela to “The Voice Kids Season 2” 1st runner-up Darren Espanto, the 39-year-old singer got really affected.
Darren shared during an interview in Tonight With Boy Abunda that he’s really disappointed with the bashers.
A photo of Jed and Darren surfaced in social media showing the presence of the performer in Darren’s moving up ceremony last April 22 at Eton International School. This caused speculations that there must be something going on between the two.
“What the bashers didn’t know, he was there to support a relative of his, which was also a student at Eton International School.”
According to the 16-year-old singer, Jed was hurt by the malicious comments. He even advised him to just ignore them.
“Dumistansya na po [siya] kasi naba-bash na nga po siya, pero I texted him, I told him, ‘Huwag na lang pansinin yung mga sinasabi ng mga ibang tao.”
In an earlier word with Jed, he said that their friendship is no longer how it used to be.
“You know, we just say ‘hi, hello,’ unlike before.
“I don’t know why, like, pati yung pagsuporta ko kay Darren, it’s a big issue.
“They always give malicious meaning.
“Ako, I try to protect the kid.
“Kung iba-bash ninyo ako, okay lang, e.
“Pero pag siya na o yung ibang kaibigan ko, mas lalo akong nasasaktan, kasi ako naha-handle ko, e.”
