Brilio.net - Singer Evi Masamba recently expressed his deep disappointment after appearing at the 21st Birthday celebration event in East Luwu Regency, South Sulawesi. Evi expressed this disappointment directly via live on her TikTok account.
In the live performance, the singer admitted that he had been abandoned after performing at the peak entertainment celebration for Lutim's anniversary at the Andi Hasan Opu To Hatta Stadium, Friday (3/5) evening. He also expressed his disappointment with the event committee because they seemed neglectful.
"We are stranded in Malili. We are still dependents, the responsibility is on us," said Evi Masamba, quoted from her TikTok account @evi_masamba.
The D'Academy graduate admitted that he was angry with this unpleasant thing. Even though he felt he had given his best performance on stage.
"Whoever it is will definitely be angry, eh, I'm annoyed, just now we have already given our best performance, we don't feel tired, whoever wants to take photos with us, we want to take them here and there, no one," he added in an annoyed tone.

However, the response from the Event Organizer (EO) was surprising. They threatened to subpoena Evi Masamba regarding the video of her complaint on social media. EO, Nonanu Entertainment Production, through Hidayat, explained that the concert was completely handled by EO and Evi's husband as manager.
Hidayat said that there was no interference from the regional government or PT Vale in organizing the concert. All aspects of the trip, including return tickets, are managed entirely by EO. They also emphasized that there was intense communication with Evi's manager, including regarding return tickets which did not need to be arranged by EO.
Not wanting problems to develop, Evi provided clarification via her personal Instagram upload on Sunday (5/5). Evi initially apologized to PT Vale Management and the Regent of East Luwu. He admitted that he had no intention of badmouthing East Luwu Regency.
"Honestly, I have no intention of bringing down the Regent, PT Vale Management and the East Luwu Regency government," he explained.

This mother of two emphasized that the problem was with the EO (Event Organizer). It was said that this had occurred due to miscommunication between him and the EO.
It was also emphasized that the East Luwu Regency Government hosted Evi Masamba very well. Therefore, Evi hopes that the video will not be twisted here and there.
"This problem is actually a matter of miscommunication between us and the EO. There are just videos floating around and being twisted here and there," he added.
In the next upload, Evi explained the issue of return tickets. According to him, the EO initially did not inform them that their tickets had been booked. Therefore, Evi intends to visit the homes of her parents and people who have contributed to her competition in the past.
"If indeed the plane tickets had been booked by the EO, it would not have been possible for us to go to Timampu (a village in South Sulawesi) if we had been given confirmation," explained Evi Masamba.

Apart from that, the EO was also late in transferring Evi Masamba's ticket money. As a result, Evi ran out of tickets to Makassar.
"We have proof of transfer from EO if they transferred at 1 pm and only sent proof of transfer at 2.25 (noon)," said the woman from North Luwu, South Sulawesi.
Even though she has provided clarification, Evi still continues to receive criticism and harsh comments from netizens. Meanwhile, some other netizens hope that Evi can use this experience as a lesson for her and the team.
"Whatever the clarification, the shouting still makes noise," commented @farahrustam93
"Don't make statements when you are angry without realizing that you are using emotional language, especially since Luwu Raya is grieving and they are part of the EVI process to become what it is today," said @dewhykoe
"This is a lesson for @evi_masamba_real, if there is a problem communicating with the party, don't go live on social media because you already know that Evi's haters are waiting for her mistake," wrote @amiersalman_numfor
