Affirming No Engineering, Irwan Batara Admits Stinky Reborn Benefits From Polemic With Ndhank

JAKARTA - Irwan Batara answered the assessment of several parties who saw the problem between Ndhank Surahman and Stinky as a fabrication to lift the prestige of the band. According to him, there was no engineering from the polemic that occurred.

"It's hard, people don't believe it, but I can assure you that this is not a setting at all," said Irwan Batara, launching the MANJI world YouTube channel, Monday, January 15.

"If it is a setting, it will be normal, who is Ndhank? Who is Irwan? How can it suddenly go viral like that," he continued.

However, Irwan did not deny that Stinky Reborn benefited from the polemic. Without struggling, he mentioned the latest single entitled Shadow Cinta, which was immediately known to the public after Ndhank sent a subpoena.

"But this incident is very profitable for Stinky. He made a fuss on the 31st, January 1st, it went viral, we launched a single. Usually it takes a few days to go viral, but it's only been a few hours, it's gone up," he said.

In fact, Irwan saw that the existing polemic had a negative impact on Ndhank, but he refused if his statement so far was said to have built a bad opinion on the former Stinky guitarist.

"Yes, positive in Stinky and negative in Ndhank. From the start, Ndhank had time to go through a lawyer (say) Irwan led an opinion. So, netizens bullied Ndhank. Sorry, from the start Ndhank the summons had been bullied by netizens. Immediately turned off the comments column. If you are right, open it, you are insulted, you explain," said Irwan.

Furthermore, Irwan said Stinky would still perform the song Maybe in his performance, but they would not bring the Do not Cover Yourself written by Ndhank. In addition, Irwan will reduce the gift to Ndhank, which was originally Rp. 500 thousand to Rp. 250 thousand.

What is certain is that in the next event Stinky will not bring Don't Cover Yourself. But maybe we will still bring it. And we will reduce half of our habit to Ndhank, he will get 250 later. It's wrong for him to take down his fortune," said Irwan Batara.
