However, the post received quite a bit of backlash. After the incident, Garcia defended himself on his Instagram account, writing: “Haters gonna hate. I’m sure I’ll have to explain it many more times to ignorant people who think I should “ask my mom” or that I have money.. Yes, I have bills too, I have a budget, and I donate to other causes. “He further added in the post, “I also donate to the homeless…I just won’t film it and put it on YouTube…but, I also have crazy ADD and try to do a lot of things…if I gave it my all every time I thought I had a great idea…I would be broke in 2 days. I won’t ask for anything to be donated that I can’t afford, I will give free pizza to anyone who donates…and I invest heavily… that’s all. Love and peace, kindness and pizza. If you want to help, this link is in all my stories. “Navarone Garibaldi Garcia is Priscilla Presley’s son from her second marriage to music producer Marco Garibaldi.

On Friday, Garcia shared a video appeal and a link to a funding page. He said, “We’re going to open a pizza place! We’re going to buy a pizza oven!” He also said he wanted to create a new pizza brand and run it out of the driveway of his Los Angeles home.On the funding page, he further explains the thinking behind his own pizza chain. He shared, “I’ve always wanted to start my own business, but marketing and advertising always got in the way. And owning an entire brick-and-mortar store adds another expense. “He claimed he had saved about $3,000 for the project and needed more. He added, “Now I want to make and serve affordable organic pizza to my community and sell it from my driveway to high-traffic locations in my neighborhood. I found a large industrial pizza oven and dropped the price from $14,000 to $8,500.”The financing page goal is $5,500.
