Singer Aepul Roza slams critics for spreading hate, not solutions

Singer and composer Aepul Roza has voiced strong criticism against what he terms "critics" within the music industry, accusing them of seeking to condemn artists rather than offer genuine help. Roza, whose real name is Noor Syaiful Mohd Zalaludin, 38, expressed frustration that these individuals only surface to find fault once an artist has achieved success and recognition.

“

Constructive criticism should always come with a solution. However, the 'critics' I'm referring to in my writing just come to condemn and spread hatred, not to provide solutions.

"Constructive criticism should always come with a solution. However, the 'critics' I'm referring to in my writing just come to condemn and spread hatred, not to provide solutions," Roza stated via a Threads post. He lamented that these critics intentionally create space for envy towards artists currently in the spotlight, despite the years of hard work the artists invested to reach their current standing.

"Our music industry is already small, and then these 'critics' come along to divide a community that is already fragile. This is crazy," he added. Roza, the vocalist for the band Drama Band, feels such actions further fragment the local music scene. He questioned the purpose and benefit of such negativity, asking, "What do you gain from doing things like that?"
