Singer Jay-R faced the "Central Jury" of Showbiz Central yesterday, July 27, to answer some controversial issues involving him, like the rumored woman living in his house and his old rift with SC co-host Mo Twister.
Rufa Mae Quinto greeted the singer at the start of the interview and then asked him about R&B Princess Kyla. Rumors suggest that there is something going on between them. Is this true?
"Alam mo naman si Kyla ‘pag kumakanta, talaga naman na mai-in love ka kay Kyla, di ba?" Jay-R said. "Ang galing, e. At ang sobrang bait niya."
"Na-in love ka ba?" Rufa Mae asked.
"Ako, I love everyone naman, e!" Jay-R laughed. Rufa Mae looked disappointed about not getting a straight answer. Jay-R turned serious, saying, "Love ko si Kyla as a friend."
LOVER NOT FIGHTER. Jay-R's name had been always dragged into controversial issues about his getting involved in fights.
Mo asked, "Isa sa mga malaking controversies na nangyari sa buhay mo dito recently was the fist fight you had with Borgy Manotoc. Ano ba talaga nangyari? Nag-away ba kayo?"
"Nag-initan lang siguro," Jay-R answered. "Miscommunication lang and misunderstanding, pero everyone knows na it wasn't a big thing in a way."
Rufa suddenly asked, "Pero bati na kayo?"
"Oo, matagal na! One week after nangyari yun," Jay-R eagerly said.
Mo jokingly asked if Borgy's punch was strong. Jay-R replied, "Ay, walang ganoon [punching]. Push-push lang. Walang sakitan. A week after that, we shook hands and we were friends again. Boys will be boys."
As Mo and Rufa Mae agreed to Jay-R's last statement, Jay-R suddenly turned to Mo and said, "Parang tayo before, nag-away dati."
As Mo smiled, Rufa Mae insisted on hearing the whole story and the spotlight was now on Mo, who recalled the fateful day when he and Jay-R became rivals for love.
"Dati may best friend ako na babae," Mo began. "Ten or maybe eleven years ago. ‘Tapos, noong pumunta ako dito sa Pilipinas, we lost touch. ‘Tapos, naging boyfriend niya si Jay-R. Hindi ko siya girlfriend pero ka-close ko lang, pero naging girlfriend ni Jay-R. Bumalik ako sa States, nakilala ko ulit sila, ‘tapos nagkagusto ako sa girlfriend niya. ‘Tapos, yun."
Rufa exclaimed, "May boyfriend!"
