Brilio.net - Having had a successful career under the name Cita Citata for many years, the 29 year old dancer no longer uses his stage name in the world of entertainment. After marrying Didi Mahardika, Cita decided to use her real name Cita Rahayu.
Cita made this decision not without reason. He revealed that he had long wanted to give up the name Cita Citata. July 2023 was the right time for him to announce the name change, after a long journey full of twists and turns.

"For a long time before I got married, I wanted to thank Cita Citata, even though it was me. She was strong enough to be hit by strong storms in her life," wrote Cita, quoted by brilio.net from her Instagram account.
Cita's name change also coincided with the change in her hijab appearance. However, netizens do not agree with the use of Cita's real name. In fact, it is claimed that Ayu Ting Ting's friend has not been herself since changing her name to Cita Rahayu .
Receiving a lot of negative comments, Cita opened her voice. The singer of 'Goyang Dumang' was surprised by this assumption. Because, every action he takes now is a form of what he is.

"Many people say that I didn't become myself after I got married. Wait a minute, do you know the real me? My previous name was just made up by the industry, where did the real me come from? Now I have a real name, so my real self is even called someone else, someone else who where?" he said, quoted from the Instagram page, Sunday (3/3).
The singer who was born in 1994 doesn't care if netizens don't like him now. If what some people want is to return to being who they were before with their stage name, then they will never agree.

"The person you want is your old dream, right? I won't give you that. If you don't accept it, that's okay. Change is certain, as long as it's for the better," added Cita.
At the end of his statement, he advised everyone about the importance of being yourself, and continuing to strive to be a better person. He said he must be forced to change for the better so that life can grow and develop.
"Be yourself, be the best version of you. Because life must continue to grow and develop. Force it? Do you have to be forced to change. Identity is formed, not sought," he explained in conclusion.
