JANNO GIBBS – The seasoned singer-songwriter clapped back at a “showbiz colleague” who “casually” told him that he gained weight.
On Monday, the seasoned singer-songwriter posted a photo on his social media account wherein he shared an encounter with a “showbiz colleague” who “casually” said that he gained weight.
Janno didn’t reveal the identity of his “showbiz colleague” in a statement posted on his social media account, but he said that his “showbiz colleague” is a “he”.
He then responded to his “showbiz colleague” by telling him that he looked old, which was supposedly not taken lightly.
“Bumped into a showbiz colleague from before. Small talk. He then casually said, ‘Tumaba ka ha (gained weight). I let it pass. I asked, ‘What do [you] do now?’ He said, ‘Oh, I’m retired already.’ My reply: ‘Oh, that’s why. You look old,’ to which he got shocked and upset,” he said in a statement posted on Instagram.

In the comments section of Janno’s post, Martin Nievera expressed how much he “hates” receiving comments about his weight as the singer pointed out that it’s a “tactless” observation.
Singer-songwriter Yayo Aguila, for her part, praised Janno on how he handled the remarks.
Janno is best known for his hit songs “Pinakamagandang Lalaki” and “Fallin’”, among many others. He previously made headlines for his response to a netizen who criticized him for appealing supporters of other politicians to let them “grieve” following the loss of former Vice President Leni Robredo in the 2022 elections.
