Jake Zyrus couldn’t hide his disappointment after a netizen asked why he didn’t follow the path of Ice Seguerra, who didn’t lose his natural voice despite his transition.
In an Instagram post, the netizen expressed her sadness about how Jake chose to sacrifice his old voice as Charice Pempengco.
In response, Jake made a lengthy message to the netizen and even criticized her for calling him Charice.
According to him, Ice didn’t undergo hormone therapy, which preserved his voice.
“First of all, with respect to my past, keep my deadname out of your silly mouth. And darling, it’s because he hasn’t taken any hormone therapy. It’s a HUGE part of being a transman. maybe there are more important reasons why he hasn’t taken hormone therapy. I am not going to explain the rest because based on your comment you sound ignorant. Google is free my darling. I’m going to pin your comment because it seems like you love being center of attention. So let’s give it to you sweetheart. Have a nice day,” he said.
“Right. You support a trans, and bash another trans because of what? Birit? Yun lang? Make it make sense sis. Hater. Being a transgender is more than just singing high or low notes.
“And the audacity of you to deadname me and properly call Ice his real name. What a joke,” he added.
It can be recalled that some netizens believed that Jake lost his career after he lost the signature voice that made him popular in the past.
However, some fans believed that Jake could still sing like his former self if he wanted to.
They even presented some videos to show that the singer could still reach high notes.
