Sometimes the biggest fights online start from the smallest misunderstandings, and this one has been simmering for years before finally boiling over.

Back in 2019, Sachzna Laparan, along with Flow G and Bosx1ne of Ex Battalion, released a cover of "Miss Flawless," the novelty song originally performed by Angelica Jones and written by Lito Camo. Sachzna maintains that her team went through the proper process, saying they coordinated with the composer and had multiple calls with Angelica's side before filming.
Why does Angelica Jones feel snubbed?
Angelica raised the issue again recently on the Kapuso vodcast Your Honor and in an interview on Fast Talk With Boy Abunda, saying she felt disrespected that the cover happened without her being properly consulted first. She also said that when she and Sachzna's paths crossed at an event, she expected that to be their chance to finally talk it out, but it never happened. Angelica has said all she wants is a sincere thank you and an apology.
What did Sachzna Laparan say in her defense?
In an exclusive interview with PEP in Makati City on September 5, Sachzna explained why she never approached Angelica at that event:
Hindi ko siya tinarayan, hindi ko siya minalditahan, wala lang, casual lang lahat.
Meaning, she was not cold or rude to Angelica, everything was simply casual on her part. Sachzna also said their tables were far apart that day and that the event itself was formal, which she felt was not the right setting for a heart to heart conversation. She added that she was only thirteen when she was cast in the "Miss Flawless" music video and that she never personally earned anything from the project since it was uploaded by Ex Battalion's team, not her own channel.
Did Sachzna Laparan apologize to Angelica Jones?
Yes. Despite standing by her side of the story, Sachzna closed her interview with a heartfelt message for Angelica:
Ms. Angelica Jones, pasensiya na kung nagkaroon tayo ng hindi pagkakaunawaan, pagkakaintindihan.
Roughly translated, she is sorry if there was a misunderstanding between them. Sachzna also said she is grateful the song is still being passed on and covered by new artists after all these years, and that she hopes to properly thank Angelica in person one day, away from cameras and social media.
Miscommunication between an artist's team and the original creator can spiral fast once it hits social media. Do you think a face to face conversation could have avoided all of this? Let us know in the comments.
