A New Life Portrait of Jupiter Fortissimo, Once Famous on Screen and Imprisoned - Now Selling Chili Sauce and Clothes

Born into a family closely tied to the world of music, Jupiter has always had artistic blood. He was once part of the vocal group Soulfa and befriended many big names in the entertainment industry. His career in the soap opera world soared sharply, making him one of the teen idols. However, in the midst of that glory, Jupiter stumbled into a drug case, not just once but twice.

His first arrest occurred in 2016. He was sentenced to 2.5 years in prison and fined hundreds of millions of rupiah. Not long after his release, he was caught up in a similar case again in 2019 and had to serve nearly five years. In total, Jupiter spent about seven years of his life behind bars. November 2023 marked a turning point when he was officially released and attempted to start a new chapter.

Jupiter now appears slimmer with darker skin. Although he no longer presents himself glamorously like before, he seems more relaxed and genuine. Jupiter has also returned to prison several times to provide spiritual services to the inmates.

Instead of returning to the entertainment world, Jupiter chose a simpler yet determined path. He is now opening a clothing booth at a shopping center in Jakarta. In addition, he is also actively selling homemade chili sauce through live streaming on TikTok. With his smooth, candid speaking style and a bolder appearance, Jupiter successfully attracts thousands of viewers every time he goes live.

Interestingly, Jupiter is not shy to appear flamboyant and be himself during live streams. He often throws out fresh jokes and interacts with buyers in a humorous way. This style is what makes his live streams go viral and sell like hotcakes. Even some fellow artists like Angel Karamoy have bought dozens of bottles of chili sauce as a form of support.

Occasionally, he still appears on television, guest-starring on quizzes with his friends. However, in his daily life, he prefers a quiet path, working honestly, and focusing on building his small business.

The life journey of Jupiter Fortissimo serves as a reminder that everyone deserves a second chance. He may have once fallen into a deep abyss, but now he is climbing back up, slowly but surely. No longer relying solely on popularity, Jupiter proves that the courage to change and rise again is the key to surviving in the harshness of life.
