Along with another rap artist Smugglaz, Loonie guested on It's Showtime on June 19, 2015 and played  on the segment "Ansabe", a kind of guessing game where a player will try to guess what Ryan Bang the host is saying with just the movement of his lips.

While playing the game a foul word came out from Loonie's mouth while doing a fliptop rap battle versus Ryan Bang, despite being reminded by host Vice Ganda not to say anything bad on TV.

Here's how it happened, and find out what Loonie exactly said:

Vice: "Looney, i-fliptop mo si Ryan. Pero no bad words."

Loonie to Ryan: "Gusto mo ng fliptop?"

Ryan: "Oo."

Loonie: "Aabotin mo sakin eh puro pintas at lait. Sa sobrang liit ng mata mo, kaya kitang piringan sintas ang gamit."

Ryan: "Tapos ka na Loonie? Eto masasabi ko sa yo: kahit anong fliptop mo sakin, okay lang yan sakin kasi wala ako maintindihan sa fliptop mo."

Loonie: "Isa pa, isa pa?"

Vice: "Wag masyadong harsh ha?"

Loonie: "Umuwi ka na sa North Korea..."

Ryan: "South ako..."

Loonie: "Sabi ko sayo, umuwi ka na lang ng North Korea, nagkakalat ka lang ng gon-rrhea, wala kang maitutulong sa ekonomiya, mas nakakatawa pa sayo si Long Mejia. Joke!"

Ryan: "Anong sabi mo sakin? Mas nakakatawa Long Mejia? Tama ka, mas nakakatawa talaga siya. Thank you Loonie. Give me hug please?"

In the later part of show after a commercial break, Kuya Kim Atienza apologized to the viewers for what happened, for Loonie's "unintentional" mention of the word. "Kami po'y humihingi ng paumanhin sa mga Madlang Pipol dito sa studio, at sa mga nanonood sa kanilang mga tahanan. May mga nasabi po kanina si Loonie na mga salita na di po kanais-nais. Ito po'y dala lamang ng kanyang bugso po ng damdamin, nagpapatawa pero wala pong malisya po na sinasabi po. Again, sorry po, di po sinasadya."
