Fact Check: Putri Ariani's Song Bought by Simon Cowell for Rp7 Trillion

Dream - Simon Cowell was one of the judges who was amazed by Putri Ariani's performance on America's Got Talent (AGT). He did not hesitate to press the Golden Buzzer for the young Indonesian singer.

In the viral performance, one of the songs that Putri performed was her own composition, titled "Loneliness."

Amidst the excitement, there was news that Simon Cowell wanted to buy the song for Rp7 trillion. The news was uploaded by the YouTube account Mengetik on June 8, 2023.

"Putri Ariani America's Got Talent Paid 7 Trillion by Simon Cowell Latest," that's the title of the video.

The video thumbnail shows a photo of Putri Ariani being embraced by Simon Cowell. In addition, there is a caption, "Simon Cowell Buys Putri Ariani's Song for 7 Trillion."

So, is the claim that Simon Cowell wants to buy Putri Ariani's song for Rp7 trillion true?

After watching the entire video, which has a duration of 9 minutes and 18 seconds, there is no evidence shown regarding Simon Cowell paying Putri Ariani or her work.

Throughout the video, the narrator only shows Putri Ariani's audition video on AGT. Then, he explains Putri Ariani's profile and Simon Cowell's praise for her.

The narrator in the video mentions that Simon Cowell said Putri Ariani received Rp7 trillion when she went up on stage after her performance. However, unfortunately, that does not match the actual AGT video.

Because when he went on stage, Simon only mentioned that Putri is one of the best singers in the competition and praised her.

Conclusion

The claim that Putri Ariani was paid Rp7 trillion by Simon Cowell is false or a hoax. The video is misleading content.
