On June 2, rapper-businessman Jayson Luzadas, popularly known as “Boss Toyo”, recalled how he turned his life around from being a drug addict.
At the media event for his new single ‘Rap Lord,’ which LionhearTV covered, Luzadas admitted that he had been in rehab three times.
“I’ve been in rehab three times, at hindi ko ‘yun tinatanggi, at hindi ko ‘yung tinatago, kasi para sa akin ay past is past, ang importante is ‘yung present and the future. Kasi nga, kung ibabato mo sa akin lahat ng dumi ko noong nakaraan ko, babatuhin din kita, ano ka ba ngayon, at ano ako ngayon, kung addict ako before, ano ba ako ngayon.”
He noted how he had changed his life and became a rapper-businessman.
Kung dating tarantado ako, puro basag ulo, puro away, ano ba ako ngayon, so doon pa lang, masasagot ko na ‘yung tanong na kayang magbago. So hindi ko kinakahiya kung saan ako nanggaling and I’m proud kasi para sa akin, achievement ‘yun, parang trophy ‘yun, na ito na ako ngayon, nagbago ako. “
He then recounted how he started his business by reselling watches. He narrated, “Watch–Casio, actually reseller lang ako. Kumukuha lang ako sa supplier from PHP 1600, all the way from Cavite, taga-Cavite kasi ako, binebenta ko ng 2400. Makauwi lang ako ng PHP 300, masaya na ako. So ganon talaga ‘yung humble beginnings ko.”
He also discussed how he dreamed of succeeding when he was younger. He shared, “Kahit kasi noong bata ako, kahit puro ako kagaguhan nandoon pa rin ‘yung pangarap ko na someday yayaman naman ako. Talagang mina-manifest ko na magiging ganito ako, inu-unti ko ‘yun. Like ‘yung Pawn Star, 2022 pa ‘yun project, nagawa ko siya ng 2022. So hindi ako natigil sa lahat ng mga iniisip ko, ginagawa ko, abutin man ng ilang taon, hindi ako titigil hanggat di ko ginagawa.”
He also plans on entering politics someday; believing in the power of manifestation.
