James Reid's dad clarifies son is in LA for recording sessions, family visits: 'Anything else is basura'
With James Reid recently leaving the Philippines for Los Angeles, fans and netizens speculated that the artist would not be returning to the country any time soon to pursue a music career abroad. But as his dad, Malcolm Reid, posted on Instagram, James will be back.
"With James at NAIA a few days ago," Malcolm shared in an Instagram post on Feb. 20. "On his way to LA for recording sessions and to visit his brother Andrew. That's it."
"Anything else is basura... Sorry to disappoint the fake newsmakers," the dad added, addressing rumors about his son's supposed departure.
Before James left for LA on Feb. 17, he shared snaps of a cake with the dedication: "Bon Voyage and Good Luck Jams Red."
His sister also posted a photo of the singer/actor at the airport, with the caption, "Go rockstar!", leading fans to speculate about his leaving the country.
Last year, he was also selling the house he shared with ex-girlfriend Nadine Lustre.
Netizens also believed that James would pursue an international music career under Transparent Arts, which he joined in October 2020. Instagram posts from @jamesreidroyals show the singer with fellow artists under the international label at a birthday party.
