IDR 500 Million For Citayam Fashion Week Just For Baim Wong Content, Bonge: Don't Get Me Wrong

JAKARTA - Many have questioned the fate of the Rp500 million that Baim Wong and Paula Verhoeven gave to Bonge as the initiator of Citayam Fashion Week. They expressed a desire to raise Citayam Fashion Week by making an event with a prize of Rp500 million.

After Baim revoked the Citayam Fashion Week Intellectual Property Rights (HAKI) application, Bonge denied receiving Rp500 million from Baim Wong and Paula Verhoeven.

Previously, Paula Verhoeven had visited Bonge's house with two suitcases containing Rp500 million whose moment was uploaded on Baim Paula's YouTube. Apparently the money was not handed over to Bonge, only shown for content.

Bonge reveals that he didn't get a penny and actually didn't give it to himself. Bonge said that the money was given for Citayam Fashion Week activities.

"Bitch, no. That was actually not given, Bonge didn't receive any money from Sis Baim. It was just a fashion week show, Bonge didn't get a penny," said Bonge on his TikTok, on Tuesday, July 26.

Bonge explained that the money given by Paula and Baim was given to the winner at the Citayam Fashion Week event. He also asked the public not to misunderstand the intentions behind giving the money.

"So the money is for the winners of the fashion week, guys, not for Bonge. So, don't misunderstand, okay. By the way, if you get Rp. 500 million, Bonge has already bought a car," Bonge concluded.

Bonge does not show that his popularity brings jobs. He got many offers. However, the results have not been able to buy a car.

"Thank God, I can buy a motorbike. If the car is still far away," said Bonge, quoted from Paragram Official.
