Boy Abunda brought up the topic of allegations saying Billy had a past of drúg use. In response, the singer-dancer strongly denied the accusations, emphasizing that he has never tried with illeg@l drúgs.

Billy went on to say that if he had given up to drug addiction, he would have surely ended himself behind bars.

 “No, never… Kung addict ako, sa totoo lang, e, di sana, nasa kulungan ako. Honestly,” Billy said.

Furthermore, he said that there were times in the past when he was extremely close to trying illeg@l drúgs. He did, however, give his ability to overcome temptation to a higher power’s intervention.

Billy revealed, “Because every time that there’s an opportunity to try drugs, in a snap of a finger, palaging meron na, ‘Halika nga dito, Billy, Punta nga tayo dito. Alis tayo dito.‘ May nare-raid, may nakukulong. So, nililihis ako ng Panginoon sa masasamang bisyo, and I’m thankful for that.”

Remembering on his past, he stated honestly, “Kaya nga aminado akong alcoholic ako. Pumapasok ako sa trabaho before na lasing ako. It was alarming before.”
