Teuku Ryzki's clarification regarding Fico Fachriza.
Teuku Ryzki, or better known as Kiki CJR, finally gave clarification regarding the widespread news about comedian Fico Fachriza. Kiki was the first person to express disappointment after Fico borrowed money from him for reasons that were considered unreasonable.
"The initial purpose of sharing the post was not to denigrate, but only to express disappointment," said Kiki in a video uploaded to Instagram @teukuryz, quoted from her personal account.
Kiki also hopes that a similar incident does not happen to anyone else and that only she herself experiences it.
Furthermore, Kiki felt that the problem with Fico was over. After hearing Rispo's statement, Fico's older brother, Kiki immediately contacted Fico to express his disappointment directly.
"Hopefully other friends will not experience similar cases like me. So, I think that's enough," he said.
