Sana pagpalain ka pa, godbless.” (Crazy, many silly rumors coming out. Whoever you are having beef on me, long live to you. You did well!! I hope you’d be blessed more. God bless.)

In 2021, he was accused of not providing for his child by his ex-girlfriend Shara Chavez. She wrote on her Facebook account: “At para sayo, Mr. Jovit Baldivino. Ang saya mo siguro. Sabi mo nga matagal tayo wala koneksyon at komunikasyon e bakit parang magsalita ka ngayon alam mo yung nangyayari? Gumatong ka pa sa problema na wala ka naman kaalam alam. Labas kana sana pero nilagay mo issue pabalik sayo.

Dinamay mo na naman ang Diyos. Chance mo ba to na baka magkaka gig ka? Di kpa rin nagbabago. Paano mo ba malalaman e sa limang taon na nabubuhay ang anak ko, HINDI KA NAMAN NAGSUSTENTO. NEVER KITANG HININGAN KASI KAYA KO.” (And for you, Mr. Jovit Baldivino.

You must be happy. You said we have had no connection and communication for a long time, but why do you speak now as if you know what’s happening? You added to the problem that you have no idea about.

You should have stayed out, but you brought the issue back to you. You dragged God again. Is this your chance to get a gig? You haven’t changed. How would you know when my child has been living for five years? YOU NEVER PROVIDED. I NEVER ASKED YOU BECAUSE I CAN.)

Baldivino responded by saying that he only wanted custody of his child and to keep her away from harm. He said: “Ang sa akin lang po eh yung makuha ko ang anak ko sa kanya at ilayo sa masama, kasi matagal na nya itinatago sa akin.

Hindi sa nagpapasikat ako hehe, naranasan ko na ang sumikat.” (All I want is to get my child from her and keep her away from evil because she has been hiding her from me for a long time.
