The singer took to Twitter to express his sentiments regarding the negative reactions of some of the band's fans. Ely also reminded his fans to simply focus on their music and not the personal matters of the former bandmates.
"Big deal, still? Why hate on people who want to tell the truth? I didn’t ask to be interviewed, nanahimik na nga ko dito eh living a happy life kayo yung makulit about the eheads. The music is all that matters, have you forgotten about that, and who wrote most of it? Just saying."
