MANILA (UPDATED) -- People online are irate with newbie rapper Young Vito (real name Erich Gabriel Bongon) for releasing his transphobic song on Spotify, a month after apologizing for its lyrics.

It was around early December last year when he was forced to take down the video for his song, "Awit." He claimed back then that he had "found out how much [his] words can personally affect other people."

But Young Vito this week went ahead and officially released a barely edited version of the song anyway, this time under Viva Records.

Remember the guy who made an entire song perpetuating stigma against trans women (that we exist only to deceive people)?

Well he has a record label now + his transphobic song is now being monetized and I’m just in disbelief.

In his track, Young Vito mockingly sings about his experience of meeting a beautiful lady who turns out to be a trans woman.

"Ang ganda niya pero parang may mali. Noong dumikit mayroon akong napansin /napakalupit/ awit may lawit," he sings.

The song was made available on YouTube and Spotify on Thursday, both under Viva Records.

The YouTube lyric video and Spotify record has since been taken down.

Young Vito promoted his song heavily on his Twitter despite only getting negative comments.

Viva Records has yet to release a statement over the criticisms of the song's release, nor its decision to take it down.

Among those who called out the original song was actress Jasmine Curtis-Smith, who described it as "BS" and told Young Vito: "Ikaw ata may mali."

Anong problema mo sa mga magagandang may lawit?

Ikaw ata may mali. 😔 Mag 2020 na soon, tigilan na yang pagkakitid ng utak pls.

Report this BS. https://t.co/tuBWvKk7En
