Ariel Rivera recalls peeing under the stage before his first performance due to nervousness

Ariel Rivera hilariously shared how nervous he was for his first on-stage performance that he had to pee underneath the stage. On Wednesday's "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda," Ariel said that Pops Fernandez had a show and his manager, Tito Boy, put him on it as a guest. "He never heard me sing yet.

Hindi niya pa ako naririnig kumanta," Ariel said. Ariel had nothing prepared, so Martin Nievera gave him his piece to perform. "Before going up on stage, because of nervousness, I had to pee.

So I went underneath the stage. I'm so nervous. I never performed in front of people," he said.

According to Tito Boy, Ariel was introduced to him by Vehnee Saturno . He accepted Ariel as his talent because of his "gut feel." "A lot of things happen in this business because of that," the King of Talk said.

Ariel took OPM by storm in the '90s and earned the moniker " Kilabot ng mga Kolehiyala ." Ariel has been married to actress Gelli de Belen since 1997. They have two sons, Joaquin and Julio.
