JAKARTA - The Virgin, which debuted in 2009, is known as a duo created by Ahmad Dhani through the management of the artist he formed, the Republic of Love Management (RCM).

Mita (guitar, vocals) admits that The Virgin is no longer dealing with RCM, but she denies that she and Dara (vocals) have ever left the management.

"Maybe if there is a bad headline out there that says that Mita has withdrawn from RCM, that's really wrong. At that time Mita was not withdrawn, but I gave permission to have a solo career outside RCM, not leave Mas Dhani and take The Virgin out," Mita said when met in Tanah Abang, Central Jakarta some time ago.

"There is no such thing as The Virgin coming out or being expelled from RCM and Mas Ahmad Dhani," he continued.

Dara even said that the relationship between The Virgin and Ahmad Dhani so far has been very good. They even became performers when Dewa 19 held a concert last year.

"The relationship with Mas Dhani is like a brother, like family," said Dara.

Regarding The Virgin, which is no longer under the auspices of the RCM, Mita said that since Ahmad Dhani was active in politics, the Dewa 19 frontman was practically no longer in charge of them, especially when Dhani was sentenced to prison in 2019.

"So, we haven't been taken care of since Mas Dhani went to politics. But thank God Mas Dhani ordered me when I arrived Mas Dhani to prison at that time, 'You go, if anything goes to the label, but please if there is a job from RCM please take it'," concluded Mita.
