The singer’s decision to pull Bayar Bayar Bayar has sparked mixed emotions.

A few followers have criticized the walk, claiming it as a response to social censure in music and the arts.

However, people supported the decision, arguing that condemnation should be conveyed more effectively to avoid greater disagreement.

The Central Java Police denied that the album’s liquidity was subject to any restrictions or stress.

” There is none. Every person has the right to openly express their opinions. As far as I know, there is no ban”, said Commissioner Dwi Subagio, the fugitive research director of Central Java Police.

Sukatani said that despite the discussion, it will continue to produce music and express cultural criticism through its craft.
