Rising TikTok content creator FynestChina, also known as John Paul Nuque, finds himself under fire amidst allegations of fraudulent behavior and exploitation of newfound celebrity status.

Fellow social media creators, including “Laiterang vlogger” Tito Mars, “Pambansang Marites” Christian Gaza, and the “not real person” Senyora, have joined forces to expose what they perceive as FynestChina’s questionable actions.

The controversy revolves around an incident where FynestChina purportedly leveraged his influence for personal gain.

Specifically, he stands accused of striking a deal with a restaurant to provide a shoutout in exchange for a lavish meal for 20 individuals, a transaction deemed by many as excessively steep.

Christian Gaza, in a scathing Facebook post, highlighted the disparity, quoting a conversation allegedly between FynestChina and a representative from Baybay Seafood & Grill.

“OMG GRABE NAMAN YON 20 PAX TAPOS X-DEAL LANG HINDI NAGBAYAD KAWAWA YUNG RESTO,” Gaza’s post exclaimed, accompanied by screenshots of the exchange.

According to the screenshots, the restaurant expected only 14 guests, leading to dismay upon realizing the actual count.

“Di ko in-expect na 20pax sila, sir Xian,” one message lamented, expressing surprise at the larger group.

The saga deepened with Tito Mars adding fuel to the fire through a Facebook post addressing the “shoutout” issue.

“Good Morning sa lahat ng nag sabi na INGITERA at MANINIRA lang daw ako . Ayaw nyo maniwala kay XIAN kase scammer eme? Oh yan kay Senyora,” Mars’s post retorted.

Joining the fray, Senyora, portrayed by an individual purportedly from the LGBTQ+ community, weighed in with her characteristic wit: “Good morning sa lahat maliban sa mga gustong magpakain ng 20pax na libre, kapalit shoutout.”

The controversy escalated further with allegations surrounding FynestChina’s purportedly falsified claim of flying first class on United Airlines, despite evidence suggesting an economy class journey.

Christian Gaza, despite facing accusations of his own, expressed a cynical view on the matter.

“Walang masama kung nagpapanggap ka na mayaman. Kanya-kanyang pautot lang yan for the sake of clout and social media branding. Basta huwag lang masyadong halata,” Gaza remarked, insinuating a culture of pretense for online popularity.

In response, FynestChina appeared to concede to some extent, attributing the incidents to scripted and “exaggerated” entertainment. “Thank you kuya christian okay na po! wala naman po akong niloko sa mga natulungan ko at sa mga giveaway ko po,” FynestChina stated, acknowledging the scripted nature of his content.
