"Hindi po talaga totoo 'yan at saka hindi naman ako nanggagamit ng kahit sino," she added.

Quinto even shared said that she and Geronimo go along very well.

"Sobrang ok po kami ni Sarah talaga. Kung tutuusin nga po, halos inaabot kami ng pagte-text ni Sarah ng madaling araw. At saka nagkasama po kami sa Star for A Night," she said.

Quinto and Geronimo are both performers of "ASAP Rocks."

Quinto is currently preparing for her first major solo concert that will be held at SM Skydome on July 15.
