The ‘Lost Juan’ a Filipino vlogger and friend of Nas Daily creator Nuseir Yassin opened up about his friendship with the controversial vlogger.
“First of all, maka-Pilipino ako at ayaw kong maabuso ang kapwa ko Pilipino,” he said in a Facebook post.
“Isa ako sa mga tao na kilalang kilala ang mga foreign creators na ginagamit lang talaga ang Pilipinas para mag gain ng followers. At hindi ko nakitaan si Nas Daily ng ganong factor! Before yon! Pero ngayon iba na sa totoo lang,” he said.
Lost Juan said that some creators at Nas Academy were also wondering why they keep on featuring Filipinos in their contents.

He said that his friendship with Nas started in 2017.
“Kilalang-kilala ko sya before but I think everything has changed ng sumikat na sya,” he said.
Lost Juan said that he worked with Nas in a Smokey Mountain content. Back then, Nas was not yet popular and has only around 300,000 followers.
“To make the story short ako na halos ang nakasama nya sa entire stay nya sa PH and actually maraming videos sya na ginawa na galing saken ang Idea,” he added.
“Marami rin ako naging sacrifices, I even decided to paint my whole apartment with his mural and many more just to welcome him back in our country,” he added.
Lost Juan said that there was a point when he was kicked out of his apartment because Nas kept on shooting in the area.

“After mapalayas sa apartment ko, I never demand anything from him but he adopted me in his hotel while andito sya. But when he left, I became homeless lol. Although meron naman ako nalipatan,” he said.
“But everything has changed hanggang sa sumikat na sya sa buong mundo. Nagbago yung taong simple na ngayon hindi ko na kilala kung ano ba talaga ang pakay,” he added.
Lost Juan said that Nas never helped him in all his struggles despite him exerting efforts to help the foreigner.
“Unti unti na akong na disappoint sa kanya kapag humihingi ako ng tulong or support nung nagsisimula ako pero never nya ko tinulungan. I don’t demand utang na loob pero diba? The first million views nya sa Philippines was the “How cheap is the Philippines and ang laki ng tulong ko non,” he said.
“All in all malaki na ang pinagbago nya, hindi ko na sya kilala as a friend na nakilala ko before. Hindi ko sinasabing ginamit lang ako pero parang ganun na nga. But as I said ako naman nagkusa tumulong, yun nga lang naabuso at napag-iwanan sa ere nung ako na ang nangailangan ng tulong,” Lost Juan said. (TDT)
