Fifteen years after the passing of the “Master Rapper” Francis Magalona, former flight attendant Abegail Rait finally confirmed the rumors surrounding the iconic singer and the members of Eat Bulaga’s Dabarkads. On October 17, Abegail admitted that she had a relationship with Francis, which resulted in the birth of a child, Gail Francheska.
With Abegail’s revelation, netizens were reminded of a statement made by Joey de Leon, a close friend and colleague of Francis, back in 2009 regarding the Master Rapper’s last wish.
According to Joey, he received a text message from Francis before his passing, but he chose not to disclose its contents. Joey mentioned that he deleted the message to keep the secret intact.
It is evident that Joey’s account of Francis’s last text message to him before the rapper’s passing may indeed be accurate. Joey stated, “It’s a shame; I’ve already deleted it.” This was a statement from the TV host and comedian, admitting that he wasn’t ready to reveal the message publicly. Joey did give a clue, saying, “One thing I can share is that it was a dying wish. Let’s wait for the situation to calm down, and I will also reveal the content of his text message to me.”
Abegail’s confession and the alleged final wish of Francis to Joey have prompted deep reflections on the life of the Master Rapper. It has shown that, despite Francis’s success and fame, there are aspects of his life that remain hidden and mysterious in the eyes of the public.
As time passes, more details about the stages of Francis Magalona’s life may become more open. However, they will continue to hold significance in honoring his memory as a colorful part of the history of Original Pilipino Music (OPM) and his personal life.
