Zack Tabudlo says ‘body odor’ rumors ‘suck’

SINGER-songwriter Zack Tabudlo admitted he was hurt by online claims that he smelled bad during his performance at UST Paskuhan 2025, but said he’s learned to cope with it.

“There were certain comments in that video regarding how I smell…” he said. “It’s just very bad…”

“I guess I’ve been in the industry for a while… that I’ve gone through so much rumors that it numbs you,” he added.

“You get to a certain point where you see these comments… it sucks. But at the same time, you’re like, ‘Damn, people don’t change.’”

Some students who attended the event claimed the singer emitted a strong odor.

“Tindi ng amoy niya, beh, nung nandoon kami,” one wrote. Another added, “Ang acm niya, nasa bandang barricade kami nung nag-walk siya, tapos kahit hindi lumapit, ang lakas pa rin ng amoy.”
