Manila, Philippines – The Filipino online world is once again on fire as social media power couple Zeinab Harake and Jayzam Manabat hit back hard at controversial influencer Buknoy Glamurrr, after a string of shady remarks and cryptic posts that fans believe were aimed directly at them. And while the heat was on, Awra Briguela couldn’t help but show her delight over the intense showdown.

The Clapback Heard Across Social Media

It started when Buknoy allegedly threw subtle shade at Zeinab and Jayzam through a livestream, questioning their “authenticity” as influencers and calling certain content creators “clout-chasers.” While Buknoy didn’t name names, netizens quickly speculated who the target was—and it didn’t take long before Zeinab responded with fire.

“If you have something to say, say it straight. Don’t play victim when the fire burns back,” Zeinab wrote on X (formerly Twitter), which quickly went viral.

Jayzam also followed up with a subtle, but pointed post:

“Real recognizes real. The rest just bark.”

Awra Joins the Drama—And She’s Living for It

In the middle of the chaos, Awra Briguela, known for not holding back, reacted with a laughing emoji thread and a cheeky TikTok dance captioned ‘when karma does her job’. Fans took it as a clear sign that Awra was cheering Zeinab and Jayzam on, possibly throwing support behind their side of the feud.

“Awra’s reaction was the cherry on top. She’s obviously had her own share of drama with Buknoy in the past, so this wasn’t surprising,” commented one netizen.

A Clash of Influencer Egos?

While some fans believe it’s all part of the usual influencer drama cycle, others think the tension between these creators runs deeper than just online banter. Old beefs, unspoken rivalries, and fanbase wars continue to fuel the fire.

Social media analysts say that conflicts like these, though messy, continue to drive engagement and keep all parties trending—intentionally or not.

What’s Next?

So far, Buknoy has not issued a direct response to the clapbacks from Zeinab and Jayzam, but netizens are watching closely for another round of indirects or a full-blown online confrontation.

One thing’s for sure: this isn’t the last we’ll hear of this explosive influencer drama.

Zeinab Harake, separated from Skusta Clee; pregnancy affected by alleged womanizing
Many were touched by Zeinab Harake’s story when she recounted what she went through during her separation from her partner Daryl Ruiz or better known as Skusta Clee.

In an interview with Toni Gonzaga, Zeinab boldly revealed about their separation following his alleged womanizing.

Zeinab said that she and Skusta Clee have been facing this problem for a long time, which she said was once the reason for their first separation.

Although they resolved it with the help of their respective families, the two experienced problems again when Skusta Clee became a womanizer in March.

Zeinab allegedly caught Skusta once left at home and had the opportunity to open her laptop.

“It was like God gave me a day not to go with him when he was going somewhere. Then what happened was, I was left at home. That’s where I caught him, on the laptop,” said Zeinab.

“But that wasn’t the worst. We even forgave each other after that because I thought that was it. It wasn’t.”

But it was only in January of this year that Zeinab first learned that Skusta CLee had allegedly done something stupid.

During this time, she was pregnant with their second child/

Skusta Clee allegedly tried to deny it but she also admitted to it only two days later.

She allegedly couldn’t handle what Skusta Clee admitted to her and it even reached the point where she was angry with herself.

“What he admitted was so brutal, I really want to … (cry) when I remember it. I hate myself, my baby. I feel sorry for Bia (their child’s name),” she said.

I don’t know where I’m going. I’m not a perfect wife but that’s no reason to treat me like that for everything I’ve done for you,” she added.

She even forgave Skusta Clee and gave her a second chance.

“We’re okay. Like, okay, we’re very happy. We’ve had fights since January but the fight between husband and wife that I thought if we were enemies, we’d make up, okay, it wasn’t,” she said.

She continued: “March, that’s it. He’s always leaving me. It’s really gotten to the point where I’m begging him.”

Zeinab’s pregnancy was affected by the events and she said it was the reason she had a miscarriage.

Zeinab and Skusta Clee got back together in July 2020. In October of the same year, Zeinab announced her pregnancy with their first child, Bia.
