Royalty Opened To The Public, Ari Lasso Sindir Adi Adrian, WAMI Leader
JAKARTA - Ari Lasso immediately responded strongly after the President Director of Indonesian Music Forum (WAMI) revealed the amount of royalties he received to the public.
As is known, WAMI held a press conference at his office in Pancoran, South Jakarta on Tuesday, August 19. Adi clarified Ari Lasso's statement claiming to only receive hundreds of thousands of royalties. He said the former vocalist of Dewa 19 received royalties of tens of millions in the January - July 2025 period.
Knowing what Adi said in the press conference, Ari felt that something was wrong. He admitted that he was connected to the President Director of WAMI the night before.
'Mas Adi Adrian, last night you called me. I received it well. I asked for permission to be recorded, but he refused. I respect it," said Ari Lasso, citing a description of Instagram uploads, Wednesday, August 20.

In a telephone conversation, Ari said Adi had admitted his team's mistake. Then, it was explained that WAMI had sent royalties worth hundreds of millions, which Ari only discovered.
Realizing his ignorance, Ari intends to make an apology to the public, but is prohibited by Adi.
"But Mas Adi said, 'no need, let alone mention numbers, it's not good,' wrote Ari imitating Adi Adrian's answer.
But in the end, WAMI actually revealed the amount of royalties that had been given to Ari Lasso to the public, which were not discussed first.
