JAKARTA - Not long after Judika stated that she had directed license to perform the song Dewa 19, Ahmad Dhani gave his response through his Instagram account.
In his upload, Dhani displayed a screenshot of the news containing Judika's rebuttal regarding direct license delivered during the Indonesian Voice Vibration (VISION) holding the first press conference since it was formed in mid-February.
"LAH, FORGET MEMORY WHETHER you don't understand what Direct Licensing means," wrote Ahmad Dhani in the caption of the upload, Thursday, March 19.
The musician who is currently a member of the Indonesian House of Representatives has also re-uploaded a screenshot of his communication with Judika via Whatsapp which was first revealed in January 2024.
In the conversation that was held on December 25, 2023, Judika sent proof of payment explaining that the money was a fee for the use of two songs created by Ahmad Dhani which were part of Garuda Indonesia's request to invite him to appear.
Meanwhile, the money transferred to Ahmad Dhani's account amounted to Rp. 15 million, where Kreatif Production was sent by funds.

In his clarification, Judika explained that the delivery of a sum of money was not a form of his approval for the application of direct license in the performance rights live event, but a way to avoid conflicts with songwriters.
"And at that time, there was Garuda's birthday, the theme might match Dewa's song, so they asked me to bring two Dewa songs. And I said, "From Garuda's side, please call Mas Dhani directly. I don't want any business that will not be good. Just finish it, later when it's done, send it to me (the proof)." Finally, they sent it with proof of payment, if I'm not mistaken, 15 million, for two or three choices of songs. Well, the next day I will sing the song, "said Judika.
"So, it's actually not my way of agreeing to that, but my way of avoiding conflict, let alone friends," he concluded.
