Joey De Leon, the “Henyo Master,” received backlash on Twitter for his newest joke regarding the ABS-CBN Network brand.

The Eat Bulaga host and comedian replied on Twitter to a netizen’s remark on how he “threw shade” to ABS-CBN regarding their franchise problem in 2020. According to the information, the “Ang Poet Nyo” likewise suffers from the same fate.

“Joey de Leon several times threw shade at “kami may franchise”. Now he’s experiencing the same for at least one day,” the post stated.

De Leon and his Eat Bulaga co-hosts have left their producer, Television and Production Exponents Inc. (TAPE), according to the netizen. De Leon said, “Totoo naman talaga ‘yun pero nawala rin…si Francise M. Gets?”

A lot of internet users were dissatisfied by the comedian’s joke on ABS-CBN’s franchise issue, involving a wordplay on the late renowned rapper Francis Magalona’s name.

Many social media users found the joke to be offensive, and several reproved De Leon for dragging Magalona into the conflict.
