Nagsalita na ang Kapamilya singer na si Jed Madela hinggil sa reklamo at tirada laban sa kanya ng dati niyang manager na si Annie Mercado.
Noong July 5, 2024, naglabas ng saloobin si Annie, sa pamamagitan ng social media, tungkol sa bagong kantang inilabas ni Jed na may pamagat na "Wish U The Worst." Paniniwala niya, patama ito ng singer sa kanya.
Sabi ni Annie sa kanyang post, itinuring niyang kapamilya si Jed bago pa man siya maging manager nito.
Kung kaya't hindi raw niya matanggap na siya ang pinapatamaan ng singer sa kantang puno ng "negativity, hate, and bitterness."
Saad ni Annie sa kanyang post (published as is): "So im doing my business and moving on with my life of positivity, joy and peace and tried to ignore pesky flies. But a friend sent me a song.
"Once and for all, im putting an end to this.
"Since he went public via a song, i am no longer going to keep quiet about this person. Im naming him dont worry.
"This song is about relationships but we’re not dumb to think its 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 im not playing the game of this ungrateful man anymore.
"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.
"Its Full of negativity, hate, and bitterness always playing the 'victim' when he is the offender.
"He’s always played the game “if the shoe fits”… well sorry, i dont wanna play… i don’t hide behind songs and post with double meanings."
Banta pa niya kay Jed: "So here it is: Jed Madela, dont taunt me with a song.
"Panindigan mo yan ha. Let’s go to the press and tell all. If you dont wanna, i will. I think people wanna know the truth.
"Share until this reaches him because he blocked all of us."

Hindi idinetalye ni Annie kung ano ang pinag-ugatan ng hindi nila pagkakaunawaan ni Jed, dahilan para masira ang lagpas dalawang dekada nilang relasyon bilang manager at talent.
Pero pagbabahagi niya, dumating daw ang puntong hindi na siya nirerespeto ni Jed bilang manager kaya nagdesisyon siyang tuldukan na ang ugnayan niya sa Kapamilya singer.
Buong mensahe ni Annie (published as is): "I’ve managed him for 23 yrs until he is what he is right now. Thats the business side.
"Ive known him since birth and me and my family loved him unconditionally, like a son and brother. And he chose to disrespect. That for me is my closure. End of the line."
May lumabas pang paratang na may kaugnayan sa pera ang hindi nila pagkakaunawaan ni Jed.
Nag-reply kasi si Annie sa isang comment ng netizen sa kanyang post na may kinalaman sa pera.

JED MADELA REACTS
Sa eksklusibong panayam ni Jed kay MJ Felipe ng ABS-CBN News nitong July 8, nahingan siya ng reaksiyon tungkol sa patutsada sa kanya ni Annie.
Ayon sa singer, pamilya ang turing niya kay Annie kaya kung anuman ang hindi nila pagkakaunawaan ay gusto niyang ayusin ito sa pribadong paraan.
Saad ni Jed, "It’s a family matter, and we’re trying to deal with it privately.”
Nilinaw rin ng singer na ang kanta niyang "Wish U The Worst," na pinag-ugatan ng galit ni Annie, ay hindi siya ang nagsulat.
Wala rin daw siyang nais patamaan sa lyrics nito kaya maging siya ay nagulat sa naging reaksiyon ng dating manager.
Paglilinaw ni Jed, "I didn’t write the song.
"It was written by Kio Priest. It just so happened that it was offered to me, I wanted a new sound.
"Ni-record ko siya, you have to go with the flow of how things are now. It just so happened na it got caught in the middle.
"It’s a song."

Sa kabila ng gusot nila ni Annie, nananatili pa rin daw ang pagpapahalaga at taus-pusong pasasalamat ni Jed dito.
Lalo na't si Annie raw ang kasa-kasama niya noong nagsisimula pa lamang siya sa showbiz hanggang sa magtagumpay siya.
Ani Jed: "I never stopped saying na I am grateful. Sila naman ang nagsimula [ng career ko].
"They started my career, Tita Annie brought me to Manila. She helped me get into showbiz.
"It was, we were a team. In time kasi, we all have to grow. Kami, we have different priorities now.
"Sila, they’re focused on WCOPA [World Championship of Performing Arts]. Ako, I’m focused on a new chapter in my life doing something different naman."
Kalakip nito ang pag-asa niyang darating ang panahong muli silang magkakaayos.
Saad ng singer, "I guess things just have to happen, but I do hope things get better.
"That was the message of my final song — that all will be alright in time, if we learn to forgive."
Ang tinutukoy ni Jed na "final song" ay ang huling piyesang kinanta niya sa kanyang concert na Welcome to my World na ginanap sa Music Museum sa Greenhills, San Juan City, noong gabi ng July 5.
Dito binigyan niya ng sariling bersiyon ang kanta ng Filipino indie folk-pop band na Ben&Ben na "Leaves."
