A Filipino rapper had gone viral on social media after his post about treating his family to a big dinner.
In a Facebook post, Youngone shared a photo of his family together with the food he bought for them.
It can be seen that the food he bought from a popular fast-food restaurant was more than enough for four of them.
The photo received 62,000 reactions as of writing and mostly positive comments from the netizens.
“Mahirap kame pero nanlilibre pag meron,” the rapper said.
However, the rapper didn’t evade the criticisms from some netizens who reminded him that it’s his responsibility to buy food for his family and he should stop flexing it on social media.
“Nilibre mo pamilya mo, wow amazing ako ay napabilib sa iyong kahusayan dapat kang bigyan ng award ang galing,” a netizen sarcastically commented.
“Goods yan boss keep it up ikaw ang unang rapper sa kasaysayan na nanglibre ng pamilya,” another netizen said.
Youngone also received support from some netizens who defended him from criticisms.
“I feel like hindi naman pamilya niya ang tinutukoy niya diyan sa nililibre nila pag meron. kasi in the first place, ginamit niya yung word na KAMI na ibig sabihin mahirap sila pero sila yung nanlilibre pag meron, hindi yung mahirap sila pero nililibre niya yung family niya (na obligasyon naman dapat at hindi panlilibre tawag don). makikita rin sa picture na andaming pagkain ilang bucket meal at yum burger yun. di naman siguro sila bibili ng ganiyan kung para sa kanila lang kasi andami niyan masyado. which supports my assumption na ang tinutukoy niya sa nililibre niya/nila kapag merong pera ay ang ibang tao at hindi ang family niya na responsibilidad naman talaga,” netizen Kenth Vidallo said.
“Ewan ko kung out-of-touch lang ba kayo sa struggles ng mga mahihirap, o trigger-happy kayong kagalitan ang mga mahihirap sa internet. Samantalang pag may sumira sa trip niyo, kayo pa ’yung unang nagsasabi ng “Let people enjoy things.” Nakakapagod kayo. Sa totoo lang.” netizen Toni Panagu wrote.
After becoming viral, Youngone addressed the netizens thanking them for support.
“Salamat sa suporta ke meron o wala,” he said.
