Already a Top Singer, Here’s Why Inul Daratista Is Not Ashamed to Accept Tips

Inul reminisces about the early days of her career when she often received large tips. Back then, she was only paid Rp23 thousand by nightclubs to sing all night.

To this day, she does not refuse if given tips even though her name is already big in the entertainment industry. Inul admits that she always shares the money from tips.

"Once one night I was showered with money until I received a box of cash that was the same amount as my current honorarium. However, I did not take a single cent. I divided everything equally among those who had been waiting for the results of my singing on stage," Inul revealed on her Instagram.

"Embarrassed? Of course not. The money given to me is halal because I earned it from real work, not from corruption or selling myself. Even a thousand rupiah is still something I accept and must be appreciated. At a time when many people out there are crying because they cannot eat, I learn to always be grateful," she continued.

"I really appreciate the money shower and always look forward to it when performing at clubs. It feels bland if there’s no one showering me with money. The sensation is there, and that’s my world. I’m not embarrassed, even though my life now is very different from the past," added Inul.

"My back feels sore, my whole body feels tired. But everything feels healthy again when the tips I receive can help them go home and give that money to their families for food," Inul expressed again.
