Hi-C publicly condemned the remarks as malicious, defamatory, and a direct assault on her privacy, dignity, and professional standing. Supported by her husband, Wolfren "Dice" Rosaroso—who had notably filed a traditional libel case against Loonie back in 2012 over a magazine critique—Hi-C tapped legal counsel to draft a against Badang.
The world of professional sports is no stranger to controversy and scandal. From doping allegations to match-fixing, sports fans have been subjected to numerous scandals over the years. However, one scandal that still resonates with Canadian sports fans is the Loonie and Hi-C scandal, which involved one of Canada's most beloved sports, hockey, and a beloved Canadian brand, Hi-C.
In October 2025, Dice and Hi-C took legal steps to address defamatory statements made against them by Badang. Following a formal demand letter issued on October 8, 2025, Badang posted a public apology on his Facebook page.
Fifteen years later, why do we care about a juice box?
Loonie stated they were in the Makati area not for illicit activities, but to fulfill a request from a fan suffering from leukemia who wished to meet the rapper on their birthday.
Critics argued that associating a national currency with high-sugar drinks like Hi-C was an attempt to "gamify" unhealthy consumption habits for children.
Chrétien admitted to a heated conversation. He admitted to poking Day in the chest to emphasize a point. But he insisted the weapon wasn’t a juice box. Instead, he claimed he was holding a (Canada’s $1 coin) in his hand to scratch a lottery ticket.
At first glance, it reads like a prank: the Prime Minister of Canada got into a physical altercation with the Leader of the Official Opposition, and the alleged weapon was a box of Hi-C orange drink. But to understand how Canadian politics devolved into a juice box brawl, we have to rewind to a time when Parliament was a boxing ring.

The scandal also highlighted the complexities of Canadian culture and identity. The reaction to the scandal revealed a deeper unease about the role of American culture and business in Canadian life. The scandal sparked a national debate about Canadian identity and the need to protect Canadian culture and values.
Before their public falling out, Loonie and Hi-C were notable collaborators within the tight-knit Filipino hip-hop scene.
By 2002, the relationship between Chrétien and Day was toxic. Day’s party had just eaten the old Progressive Conservatives, and he was hammering Chrétien on everything from Western alienation to fiscal mismanagement. The fuse was lit.
