Chronology of Ari Lasso's Outburst at WAMI, His Song Royalties Allegedly Transferred to Someone Else

Ari Lasso recently expressed his disappointment with Wahana Musik Indonesia (WAMI) after his song royalties were allegedly transferred to someone else's account. This situation triggered his anger, supported by several documents showing royalty distribution amounts that were far below expectations.

He claimed to be confused when he saw the amount he received was only around Rp 700 thousand, while reports indicated the figure should have been much larger. The oddity became even more pronounced when he discovered the recipient's name was different. Here is the chronology, KLovers.

Ari claimed to be confused when he saw that the amount deposited into his account was only around Rp 700 thousand. Meanwhile, according to the report documents, the total royalty distribution should have reached tens of millions of rupiah.

"I am confused reading that from the tens of millions that should have trickled down, only 700 thousand came in. I called my friend Mas Meidy Aquarius @meidif who used to be at WAMI, and he was also confused, and replied that he is no longer at WAMI," wrote Ari Lasso in an Instagram post.

Based on the official documents he presented, the name of the payment recipient is actually recorded as Muthoillah Rizal Affandi. This made Ari wonder whether the report was his with the wrong transfer, or indeed belonged to someone else.

"Keep counting, the report of Ari Lasso is mine or belongs to Mr. Muthoillah Rizal. Or that count is mine but Wami mistakenly transferred it to Muthoillah Rizal," explained Ari Lasso.

Ari Lasso accused WAMI of having poor management that could potentially harm musicians. He even suggested that state institutions like BPK, KPK, or Bareskrim investigate WAMI to make it a credible organization.

Ari emphasized that he is not a greedy person. However, he has the right to receive a share of the royalties from his works, just like other musicians who rely on income from copyright.

"I am not a GREEDY and AVARICIOUS person, but I am also someone who needs money as a fair right from a small part of the industry that can make you claim royalties here and there. And I am grateful that I am also a performer who can still earn income from gigs. Thank GOD," he stated.

Ari mentioned that the current Chairman of WAMI is a musician he admires, Adi Adrian. He requested an open explanation regarding how the organization operates.

As a form of protest, Ari Lasso stated that all parties are free to play and perform his hit songs in cafes, weddings, or events without paying royalties. He invited other musicians to unite and voice for transparency.

"To all my band player friends, wedding singers, event performers, and cafes. I am giving you the freedom to play and perform my hit songs. Go ahead, it's pointless for you to pay when the management is like this," explained Ari Lasso.
