Jakarta –
Family Ressa Herlambang went bankrupt in 2010 due to losses of up to IDR 12 billion overnight.
The misfortune did not end there, his family was also chased by someone who collected Rp. 12 million and threatened to report to the police if they did not pay.
At that time, in his cell phone among them there are contacts Raffi Ahmad and Yadi Sembako, Ressa Herlambang called the two of them for help.
“Many people have helped me, one of them was at the moment when my parents were being chased by people until they wanted to be reported to the police and had to pay Rp. 12 million. I only had Rp. 2 million, I only had a small cell phone and there there was Raffi’s contact with Yadi’s basic food contact, I finally called,” said Ressa Herlambang when met in the Transmedia area, Tendean, South Jakarta, Monday (6/2/2023) evening.
Nia Ramadhani’s former lover explained that Yadi Sembako did not really know his family. Meanwhile, Raffi Ahmad knows his family very well and even made Ressa Herlambang’s family his dream when he became a successful person.
“If Pak Yadi wasn’t too close to my family, if Raffi knew my dad and mom well enough, when I had the anniversary of the album launching, Raffi and the late Olga became the hosts, so they really knew my family so well that they used to say ‘Bro, pray for me, bro, I hope it might be that a rich person has a car, this is like you’, that’s true, my dad and mom really know Raffi,” explained Ressa Herlambang.
At that time, Raffi Ahmad At first, he didn’t believe that Ressa Herlambang borrowed Rp. 5 million, considering his wealthy family. This is because the 36-year-old singer kept his family’s bankruptcy a secret.
“Until I called Raffi at 10 pm, ‘Bro, can I borrow Rp. 5 million or not?’ Raffi was confused, because he knew the situation between me and my family, he only answered ‘Where is your father, bro? What’s wrong, bro? ‘ Maybe what did Raffi think the money was for, what might you do, even though your father had a lot of money, until he asked for the account number to ask where his father was going,” Ressa Herlambang said.
“Maybe Raffi also just found out regarding the incident when he later watched this show, ‘Oh, that crazy one borrowed because he was bankrupt, huh’, he doesn’t know,” he added.
Until now, Ressa Herlambang has not had time to return what she borrowed from Raffi Ahmad.
“I met him in 2013 once more as a host and I sang, I said ‘Bro, I’ll change it later’, Raffi just said ‘Okay, just use it first’. Until that moment and until now I have never communicated or met. Until this second, I have not returned Raffi Ahmad’s Rp. 5 million,” he concluded.
