Brilio.net - Vincent Rompies is back in the spotlight of netizens after his actions during Friday prayers were recorded in a video on TikTok. In the recording, he is seen sitting in the outer row of the mosque with other worshipers, mingling without awkwardness with residents.
"Why are you so happy after Friday?" wrote the account owner @apakabarrrrrrrrr in the video he uploaded.
The video shows the atmosphere after Friday prayers, where Vincent appears calm performing the sunnah prayers before the obligatory prayers.
"There's Vincent, but I don't dare ask for a photo," he continued.

Not a few netizens were surprised to see the former Club 80's personnel praying, considering that Vincent had previously made a controversial statement about faith.
Vincent's name is often associated with various speculations about his beliefs. Although he comes from a family with diverse religions, he admitted that he has been a Muslim since birth and has been far from the habit of worship.
Some time ago, Vincent had the opportunity to speak openly about his faith on the Vindes YouTube channel with Habib Jafar. At that time, he revealed that he had not prayed for a long time and felt that he was not obedient enough to the teachings of his religion.
He explained that he still believed but did not live it wholeheartedly. His statement reflected honesty about his spiritual journey, including the difficulty of remaining consistent in worship.

"I haven't prayed for a long time, I don't obey anymore. I'm Muslim, I believe but I don't obey that much," said Vincent.
Vincent also said that he did not think too much about big consequences like going to hell. For him, living life honestly and trying to improve himself is an important part of his life now.
"That's why people say, 'Wow, you don't pray'. Yes, that's okay, yes, I'm going to hell, that's okay. Go ahead if you want to go to heaven. But, people also don't know that I also pray and I'm trying to fix that," explained Vincent.
Although he had said he was resigned to life and faith, the moment Vincent performed Friday prayers was a positive thing in the eyes of netizens. Many appreciated his steps to re-engage in worship, even though it was done without major publicity.
"Wow, there's Vincent Rompies on Friday," said @lilwiley_00piumlabel.
"Vincent rarely prays, I watched his video, he said the last time he prayed was a year ago during Eid prayers, haha," said @mu_faabee.
"This is actually the bare minimum but still, MasyaAllah, Mr. Pincennnn," said @rrput25.
"Vicent already performs Friday prayers at the mosque, my husband had to get angry and lecture him to make him perform Friday prayers at the mosque," said @missrose3103.
"All this time I thought he was non-Muslim," said @ksbrhridisjabjd.
Vincent Rompies reveals Ayu Ting Ting's different aura when performing on stage.
Vincent Rompies admitted that the aura of the son of Ummi Kalsum and Ayah Ojak felt so different when performing on stage. The confession from the artist born in Jakarta, March 29, 1980, made Ayu blush.
In the program hosted by Vincent Rompies, Desta, Jegel, and Rigen, Ayu appeared as a guest star. The conversation in the event summarized from the YouTube account @asanapod discussed many things, including Vincent and Desta's experience of witnessing Ayu's performance while singing on stage.
At that time, Vincent and Desta acted as MCs, while the singers of Alamat Palsu and Sambalado appeared as guest stars. From the side of the stage, both of them paid close attention to Ayu's performance. That moment made Vincent say that Ayu's aura when singing felt so different.
Every time she performs, Ayu always manages to amaze the audience. In addition, her skill in building the stage atmosphere makes the show even more lively.
"When Desta and I were MCing the bank event that you sang. Ayu sang, her aura was really different," said Vincent.
"So I was singing on stage, then he was watching from behind on the edge of the curtain like this. I said, it's such a shame for a kid who wants to see an artist," said Ayu.
