Radja's Music Video Drama, Vadel Badjideh Disappointed That His Vocals Were Not Featured

Kapanlagi.com - The launch of Radja's latest music video titled Apa Sih is not without controversy. One of the collaborators in this project, Vadel Badjideh, expressed his disappointment because his vocals were not used as previously promised.

Vadel was initially involved along with his brother, Bintang Badjideh, to dance in the music video. However, in a subsequent agreement, he was asked to contribute his vocals. According to Vadel, the first part of the song should have featured his voice.

"At the time of that agreement, we ensured that we could sing, to push ourselves to sing. So there was a huge effort, stepping out of our comfort zone but there was no sound from me," said Vadel at the South Jakarta Metro Police, Monday (23/12/2024).

His disappointment escalated when he learned that the band Radja did not use his vocals at all. He believes that a band like Radja should be more professional in fulfilling the agreements that have been made.

"So that’s what makes me very disappointed. The disappointment is huge for a band like Radja, which might not be professional," he added.

Vadel admitted that he has made maximum efforts to fulfill his role in the project. He even dared to step out of his comfort zone and hoped that his vocals could be appreciated in the song.

"I already said that earlier, even though my voice isn't good, but according to the agreement, it has to be shown," he revealed.

However, Vadel's biggest disappointment was not just about the vocals. In the music video, his face was replaced with an image of a monkey, which he found very insulting.

"The monkey image is what annoys me the most because from their side, the one I have a problem with, I am often called a monkey, ape. And now there's this again," he said.

Before the music video was uploaded, Vadel admitted that he had seen a preview of it. He had lodged a complaint with Radja through their manager, Martin, but did not receive a satisfactory response.

"Their reason was that it was meant to be funny or something, that was from brother Martin's side, the manager, he takes care of it. The important thing is we have already complained," he explained.
