Abegail Rait has been on the receiving end of criticism after she brought Francesca – her alleged love child with Master Rapper Francis Magalona – with her to a nightclub and let the 15-year-old teenager dance on the bar stage.
Abegail and Francesca attended the anniversary event of a nightclub in Las Piñas last July 5, and videos of them enjoying the party made rounds on social media.
In a video shared by TikTok user @renzoren, Francesca can be seen on the bar stage while dancing to Tyla’s “Water.” She even received loud cheers after she shook her hips to the beat, seemingly twerking.

In another video, Abegail and her daughter were dancing and waving long balloons alongside other partygoers.

The comments sections were then filled with netizens expressing concern over Francesca’s attendance at such an event despite being a minor.

Abegail did not immediately respond to criticisms, although she intrigued netizens after she shared a cryptic quote through her Facebook page days later.
“We are like books. Most people only see our cover, the minority only read the introduction, many people believe the critics. Few will know our content,” the quote from French novelist and journalist Émile Zola read.
Abegail revealed in October 2023 her supposed relationship with the late Master Rapper and their alleged love child. She also said at the time that Francesca would enter show business.
“Ang pinakamahirap na part is ‘yung situation ko, ‘yung hindi ka pwede lumabas,” Abegail said of her situation after Magalona died in 2009. “For 15 years, nanahimik ako. I didn’t say anything about me and my daughter.”
