In her tweet, Mela called out Carlos for trying to revive his showbiz career in what seemed to her was in a wrong way.
“Dear @amiragassi, I understand that you may be trying to revive your showbiz career or at the least, be relevant, but I suggest, do it right!” Mela posted on Twitter.
“The ingredients to how people bounce back in life: real talent, hard work, charisma, and treating people right. Work on these!” she added.
The celebrity content-creator then posted another tweet, this time addressing the song and video of Carlos.
“Because with all due respect, Mr. @amiragassi , setting aside my objective opinion that your song and video are of poor quality, attempting to be funny at the expense of trans women (or what you call ‘binabai na may venting milk tea’) is of low, inhumane standards,” she tweeted.
“Only the desperate will make fun of others to make them look good. Nothing beats kindness. I hope and pray, @amiragassi, that you start practicing it,” she further said.
In his reply to Mela, the singer-actor opted to address the issues hurled at him with a short retort.
“Ako sumikat ikaw laos na di pa sumisikat huhu iyak yarn, hanap kakampi,” Carlos said.
In his subsequent tweets, Carlos denied the transphobic accusations hurled against him, not only by Mela but by other netizens as well.
“Milk Tea By Carlos Agassi was supposed to be a romantic comedy song, loving all genders especially LGBTQ Community which I thought are open minded and would understand and appreciate my point since most of them are talented in the entertainment industry,” Carlos tweeted.
“Music is art and every art is open to interpretation and criticism. Pilit niyo lang na pinalalabas na transphobic, ginagawan ng issue, at nilalait ang kanta. Nagkakampihan, pinagtutulungan, at hinihila pababa. Spread love and support your local artists. Milk Tea tayo dyan,” he also posted on Twitter.
“Haay pag wala na mabara, pag mamalaki binayaran verified account nila at kunwari talented sila o malaki milk tea nya, goo boii , tehh i supot U #BarbieMovie #carlosagasai,” the singer-actor also tweeted.
