Rinni Wulandari Says Kekeyi Has Apologized for the Similarity Between the Song 'Keke Bukan Boneka'

Kapanlagi.com - Rinni Wulandari stated that Kekeyi has apologized to her regarding the similarity between the song Keke Bukan Boneka and her song Aku Bukan Boneka. Rinni stated that Kekeyi did not intend to plagiarize and did not understand about obtaining permission to perform someone's work.

"Because this morning, Kekeyi DM'd me on Instagram, she apologized because she didn't know that permission was needed and she didn't mean to copy, she didn't know about the song," said Rinni Wulandari when contacted by KapanLagi.com, Sunday (31/5).

"She doesn't have management that handles everything. I also suspected that she didn't have anyone who understands how to handle things like this. Because actually, obtaining permission to use someone's song in the song we release is quite crucial," she continued.

1. Suggestions for Kekeyi

Then she suggested Kekeyi to better contact the creator of the song, Novi Umar, or Sony Music label, who owns the copyright of the song Aku Bukan Boneka.

"Then I said because the one who should be invited to talk is the one who has the copyright, like the publisher and the composer, Novi Umar. As for me, I am a singer. I have mentioned it to the creator and the creator said, 'Oh yes, but she hasn't contacted me yet.' So I said, 'Oh maybe not yet,'" said Rinni Wulandari.

"As for Sony (Music), I don't have any information yet because it happens to be my former label and I don't want to get too involved either. Because if it's Sony's copyright, Sony will automatically find out or maybe Kekeyi will find out how to contact Sony," she continued.

2. Advice for Kekeyi

Rinni Wulandari also gave advice to Kekeyi to pay more attention when releasing a work. "I kept telling her that she should check it before uploading it. I understand that she might not know because it's her first time releasing a song," said Jevin Julian's wife.

"I just wanted to make sure, just to be clear, that I had no intention of belittling Kekeyi by performing that song. There was no negative intention from me and we are all fine," she concluded.
