Former manager takes a swipe at Jed Madela

Jed Madela caught the ire of his former talent manager, Annie Mercado, who felt she was alluded to in the singer’s newest single, “Wish u the Worst.”

Mercado believes that the song was an outright attack on her management style.

Seething with anger, Mercado, in a lengthy Facebook aria, took a severe swipe at Madela.

“Since he went public via a song, I am no longer going to keep quiet about this person. I’m naming him don’t worry. This song is about relationships but we’re not d*mb to think it’s not about us, the very family who took good care of him and loved him from the day he set foot in Manila. So, yeah I’m not playing the game of this ungrateful man anymore,” she bravely said in her post.

For Mercado, Madela’s latest song is indicative of what the singer is as a person.

“Wish u the worst” (his new song) — this song tells you so much about the kind of person the singer truly is. Title pa lang he invested on negativity na. It’s full of negativity, hate, and bitterness always playing the “victim” when is the offender. He’s always played the game “if the shoe fits”… Well sorry, I don’t want to play…. I don’t hide behind songs and post with double meanings,” she stressed.

Later, she challenged Madela to walk his talk.

“Jed Madela, don’t taunt me with a song. Panindigan mo ‘yan ha (stand up for what you said). Let’s go to the press and tell all. If you don’t want, I will think people wanna know the truth,” she said.

Mercado then revealed what transpired between them.

“It’s all about money for Jed. He got physical with me because he wanted more money (details soon). Fame and fortune got to his head. He actually said that money is more important to him than family. People will eventually see the real person that he is,” came her biggest revelation of the singer.

Is this true? Any comment, Jed?

Tinuruan ako kung paano (It taught me how to react) mag-react sa situations, under stress, under pressure. It taught me how to handle situations with grace,” she said.
