Ahmad Dhani’s Instagram Account Vanishes; Musician Takes to Dewa 19’s Official Page to Defend Daughter
The personal Instagram account of renowned musician and Indonesian lawmaker, Ahmad Dhani, has reportedly disappeared. In response, the Dewa 19 frontman pivoted to the band’s official account to deliver a series of statements that have quickly captured public attention.
Using the @officialdewa19 handle, Dhani posted a photo of himself accompanied by an emotionally charged message. He asserted that while his digital presence may be silenced, the truth remains immutable. Central to his message was a vow to defend the honor of his daughter, Safeea Ahmad. “My Instagram may be dead, but the truth cannot be buried,” Dhani wrote in the post.
Tensions Resurface: The Ongoing Conflict with Maia Estianty
The cryptic nature of the post left many followers seeking context, as Dhani explicitly stated, “I am a man who will fight for your honour,” while tagging his daughter’s account. Many observers suggest this outburst is linked to the long-standing, often volatile, history between Dhani and his ex-wife, Maia Estianty, which has shown signs of renewed friction in recent weeks.
The couple, who finalized their divorce in 2008 following a contentious legal battle that began in 2006, have maintained separate lives for nearly two decades. Despite this, their relationship frequently sparks public debate, particularly during family milestones.
Most recently, tension escalated when Dhani appeared to criticize Maia regarding the “siraman” ceremony held during the wedding preparations for their son, El Rumi, and his partner, Syifa Hadju. Dhani publicly questioned the sincerity of the event, labeling it a performance.
Defending His Reputation and Challenging Past Narratives
Dhani’s recent statements have not been limited to the current wedding festivities. He has also revisited historical grievances, vehemently denying allegations of infidelity directed at him years ago. Instead, he countered by alleging that Maia had external relationships during their marriage. He further addressed long-standing rumors regarding domestic violence and accusations that he had been denied access to his children, arguing that these narratives were crafted specifically to shape public opinion against him.
“This has been going on for 20 years. Some of these narratives are only believed by fans of soap operas and Korean dramas, but they were never accepted by the Supreme Court,” Dhani stated. He emphasized that the Supreme Court’s final ruling only granted the divorce without upholding other claims, including those regarding child custody.
“It is proven that the Supreme Court only granted the divorce request. Even the claim for child custody was not granted, let alone other lawsuits,” he added.
As of now, there has been no official response from Maia Estianty regarding these latest accusations. Nevertheless, the resurfacing of these old tensions has once again polarized social media and kept the public fixated on one of Indonesia’s most high-profile celebrity feuds.
