Nikko Natividad, Hashtag member and Umagang Kay Ganda host, retaliated against publicist, columnist, blogger Dominic Rea for questioning where his 4 million pesos came from.
In a Facebook post, Rea questioned if the model, actor-host, and dancer really had four million pesos which he lost in an investment scam, implying that it could not be possible for Natividad to earn such an amount.
Natividad retaliated through Twitter in a series of heated posts.

Lahat ng pera ko pinaghirapan ko. 5yrs kong pinaghirapan sa showbiz at pag nenegosyo. Kaya hindi imposible yun. Kung di ka makapaniwala isip ka nalang ng blind item tutal dun ka kumikita sa paninirang puri 🤭🤭🤭
