Ahmad Dhani Uploads Video Accusing Maia Estianty of 'Gossip', El Rumi's Reaction Becomes the Spotlight: It's Not Me Who Made It

Kapanlagi.com - The feud between legendary musician Ahmad Dhani and his ex-wife, Maia Estianty, has heated up again and become a hot topic in the online world. This time, the spotlight emerged after Ahmad Dhani uploaded a compilation video accusing Maia Estianty's statements of being 'gossip and slander'.

This uproar inevitably dragged their children's names into the media whirlpool. El Rumi, the second son from Dhani and Maia's marriage, was eventually asked to respond regarding the controversial content created by his father.

When met by the media crew in the Gandaria area of South Jakarta on Wednesday (2/7/2025), El Rumi, who is usually relaxed and open, showed a different attitude. He appeared more cautious when asked about the video that Ahmad Dhani openly made to defend Mulan Jameela.

When first asked about his views on the content, El Rumi firmly stated that he has not watched it. More than that, he seemed to draw a clear line, emphasizing that he does not have the capacity to comment because he was not involved in its creation.

"Haven't watched... I'm not the one who made it, I'm not the one who can comment, don't chase me for it," said El Rumi.

That brief yet solid answer implied El's reluctance to get further entangled in his parents' conflict. He seemed to be asking for the public and media's understanding not to position him in the midst of a dispute that is sensitive for their family. This attitude shows his maturity in placing himself.

Not satisfied with the answer, the media crew pressed on with follow-up questions, trying to dig deeper into his feelings. The reporter asked whether he was surprised or shocked by his father's actions in openly posting such content in a public space.

However, instead of giving a verbal answer, El Rumi's reaction only highlighted how complicated this situation is for him. The young musician and entrepreneur chose to remain silent. His face remained calm, but that silence spoke more than words.

El Rumi's demeanor is suspected to be his way of not wanting to hurt anyone, whether it be his father, Ahmad Dhani, or his mother, Maia Estianty. Caught between the two poles he loves, silence became a wise choice to maintain harmony in his relationship with both parents.
