Hindi nila sinasabi na unprofessional and all?&quot;</p><p>&quot;Pero yung tipong kapag ako ang nagmura ang dami-daming sinasabi --lumaki na ang ulo, nagbago na, mayabang na, etc.&quot; Unfair man,&quot; he said, edited for clarity.</p><p>This supposed double standard irked Labajo, who wrote, as seen in screenshots from the singer&#x27;s Instagram account republished by <a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2019/3/8/fresh-scoops/jk-labajo-airs-tirades-anew-deletes-social-media-203983">Push</a>, about how people love moralizing incidents like these.</p><p>&quot;Filipinos are afraid to appreciate transparency from true artists,&quot; he claimed. &quot;Heck even listen and pay for true artists. I&#x27;m not saying all Filipinos, of course, but you know what I mean.&quot;</p><p>&quot;They can&#x27;t stop loving that sugar coated pretentious angels they see on TV. &#x27;Ugh what an amazing human being so kind.&#x27;&quot;</p><p>He ended his response to all the criticisms he got by announcing that he has deleted his Facebook and Twitter accounts, opting to maintain his social media presence by sticking to Instagram.</p><p>He also thanked those who continually support his brand of music, and asks them to keep an open mind.</p><p>Labajo did not mention who he was referring to when he said &quot;sikat na girl artista.&quot;</p><p>The incident happened at the Rakrakan Festival 2019 over the past weekend, and it was because of a person who rudely brought up the social media back-and-forth Labajo had with Espanto back in October last year.</p><p>Labajo accused Espanto of being gay in a tweet, which he claimed was only posted on his Twitter account because he was hacked.</p>
