Rumsyah is a girl from the Outer Baduy tribe. Her name started to become widely known after appearing on the TikTok account @langkahpii last year. At that time, Rumsyah managed to attract attention because she was considered to have a captivating appearance even without makeup. In addition, Rumsyah's friendly attitude towards tourists visiting her village also received a lot of praise.

However, now, after previously being admired, Rumsyah's image, who was originally known as a friendly and charming girl from Baduy Luar, has changed. She became the center of attention after appearing in a video with TikToker Vilmei some time ago. Rumsyah was accused of not being happy with Vilmei's arrival in the Baduy area because of her seemingly firm attitude in front of the camera.
In the video uploaded by Vilmei on her TikTok account, she initially offered one request to Rumsyah, but the girl from Baduy Luar asked for two requests.
After Rumsyah expressed her desire to have a cellphone and be taken to Jakarta, Vilmei instead showed a confused face because she was not ready to bring a cellphone. Nevertheless, she tried hard and finally managed to give a cellphone to Rumsyah.
4. Appeared in TikToker Monti Sibolang's Content

The controversy escalated when Rumsyah appeared in TikToker @montisibolang's content. In the video, Monti talked about the phone given by Vilmei to Rumsyah, which turned out to be not an iPhone as assumed.
Monti said, "Guys, look at this, Rumsyah was given an Advan phone. We heard that Rumsyah was given an iPhone. Turns out Vilmei, who likes to give away iPhones in her content, give money, actually gave it to neng Rumsyah, not an iPhone," as reported in Monti's TikTok account.
However, instead of receiving sympathy from netizens, they were criticized even more for being ungrateful. Vilmei then clarified that at that time she didn't have any preparation to bring a phone. Despite facing unpleasant treatment, Vilmei remains committed to fulfilling her promise to take Rumsyah on a trip to Jakarta.

As Vilmei's boyfriend, Willie Salim showed a different attitude by expressing his disappointment and anger through an Insta Story post. He wrote, "Problems. Trash. Nagging mouth. Weak. Interfering in other people's affairs. Stirring up trouble. Making things worse. As a boyfriend, it's embarrassing," which is suspected to be directed towards Monti.
In addition, Willie also gave sharp advice on appreciating gifts from others. "Annoyed because you were given an Android phone? Learn some self-awareness. Never spit on someone who gives you a "gift." Let me teach you some ethics. If you don't like it, just keep quiet. Don't overreact," Willie expressed in his grievances.
Until now, the issues between Vilmei, Rumsyah, and Monti remain a topic of conversation in society. Hopefully, there can be a middle ground and dialogue that can prevent mutual sarcasm on social media.
