Makagago Prediction Gets All Too Real as Ai Ai de las Alas Announces She has Let Ex Battalion Go

"Na-trauma talaga ako," she turned to me with tears in her eyes full of pathos when I asked how much damage this sad occurence dealt to her. She clarified that managing Ex-Battalion has scarred her enough not just to take a break from managing artists but she does not want to manage anyone again because of the painful ordeal she went through.

"Talent ko sila, hindi ko naman sila anak. Yun ang gawain ng manager, proteksyunan sila. Parang nanay, proproteksyunan mo yung mga anak mo. Kaso, hindi ko naman sila totoong anak, yung mga anak ko hindi ako pinapaiyak," was all she could muster during the first few minutes of the interview between sobs.

For those who are fans of the group and has been following the real-life "Nanay Sabel" saga, they started being managed by her March of last year, went on to do endorsements under a clothing company and an MLM company thanks to her, and was eventually signed by Viva last June 2018.

However, even back then when their concert and film were being plan, rumors were afloat that there's a misunderstanding between them and her. She denied these during the interviews and fended them off by saying that they usually talk it out. But, it all came to a head when cancellations for gigs and projects happened and, according to Ai-Ai, they allegedly blamed her because she was giving them so many things to do. Normally, an artist is very happy when he or she is busy because that symbolizes a flourishing career but this was not the case with them.

Where does Makagago fit into all of this? Well, he's the triggerman. The "final season" of Ex Battalion started when they kind of ganged up on him during the Sunugan 2019 held last March. Both were from the "underground scene" and earned their clout via a large social media following. So, Makagago knew things people did not know, like queridas, stolen songs, and even a case of venereal disease. 

He predicted that the group will spon disband after Mark Maglasang left and even called out Ai Ai for her wrong decisioj, implying that the group will bring her trouble. Ai Ai now agrees with what he said. Yes, she is familiar with the Sunugan event and the "Skusta Leak" nick. "Si Makagago na talaga yung sumagot tungkol sa kanila para sa akin," she concurred with a slight nod. 

And life goes on for the award-winning comedienne who once gave the hiphop group an opportunityto soar.
