His comment, which Daniel found 'disrespectful', resulted into twitter fight between him and the 'La Luna Sangre' star.
In an interview with ABS-CBN entertainment reporter Gretchen Fullido, Paul explained: 'Nung tinuweet niya (Daniel) pa lang ako, hiningi ko na agad 'yung number ni Marco (Gumabao) kasi sa Twitter lang kami nagkaka-followan, sila Patrick (Sugui), mga barkada niya."
"Sabi ko, sana naman maintindihan nila kasi ‘di ba, sa lalaki kasi, pagdating sa basketball, trash talk-an iyan eh. In-explain ko din naman kila Marco. Naintindihan naman daw nila kaso medyo nabastos nga daw si DJ. So sabi ko pasensya na" he continued.
Paul stressed that he didn't mean to offend Daniel. He also said that he already apologized to him and his friends.
"Si DJ nakasama ko na din sa movie niya, best friend niya ako doon. In-explain ko din sa kanila na nagka-misunderstanding lang kami. Pero in-explain ko sa kanila na at the end of the day, trash talk lang naman. Wala naman akong hate against them"
When asked if their basketball match up will still push through, he quipped: "Tuloy naman ang game namin, friendly game. Ewan pa kung kailan magkatugma 'yung sched namin nila DJ, ng mga kaibigan niya kasi medyo busy din sila."
