Loonie denied the said allegations.
“Hindi totoo lahat ng paratang sa akin. Iyong mga pera at mga na sa sachet, hindi po sa akin ‘yan. Pumunta po kami dito para sa batang may cancer. Nanggaling pa po ako sa radio interview kanina, dumiretso ako dito at bigla na lang gano’n,” the rapper said according to a report by ABS-CBN News.
