JAKARTA - As a member of Wahana Musik Indonesia (WAMI), Ari Lasso was disappointed with the royalty management system run by the largest Creator of the Collective Management Institute (LMK) in Indonesia.

For the distribution of the July 2025 period, Ari complained about the nominal amount of royalties. Worse, he received a report on behalf of other people.

"Then the calculation of Ari Lasso's report belongs to me or belongs to Mr. Muthoillah Rizal. Or the calculation belongs to me but WAMI made the wrong transfer to Muthoillah Rizal," wrote Ari Lasso, citing the caption of the upload, Monday, August 11.

Due to such great disappointment with WAMI, Ari stated that his hit song could be played and played at weddings to cafes.

"For all the bandmates, wedding singers, events, cafeS I FREE YOU TO PLAY AND PLAY MY HITS SONGS. PLEASE," said the former vocalist of Dewa 19.

PERCUMA ANDA MEMBAYAR tapi pengelolaannya seperti ini. Dalam hal transparansi dan kredisi, Aquarius Musikindo menurut saya masih paling TOP !!!! tegasnya.

The 52-year-old singer also invited musicians to fight those who felt they had harmed musicians a lot.

"Wow, fellow musicians, let's be together. Who really IS 'HANTU BLAU NGANGKANG' THAT WE HAVE TO COLLABORATE WITH," HE SAID.

Meanwhile, Ari's disappointment was based on the report he received from WAMI as of July 28. It was stated in the report that royalty receipts were only IDR 765,594.

"I was confused about reading from tens of millions, only 700 thousand dripped. I called my friend, Mas Meidy Aquarius who was in WAMI, he was also confused, and replied 'I'm not at WAMI'," said Ari.

"The MOST GREAT CONCERN IS THAT YOU TRANSFER TO Rizal's Muthoillah account," he said.
