While the entertainment business can be glamorous, it can also get quite messy. We’ve seen countless arguments between celebrities; threatening to sue one another for either slander or a very honest review. Celebrity entrepreneur Dato Sri Aliff Syukri has always been known to fight back whenever another famous person criticised or mocked him.
It appears that he caused quite a scene for allegedly attacking controversial celeb, Diva AA during a live performance. Here’s what the “Badang” star had to say after receiving news that the TV host wanted to sue him for RM100 million:
@abangterlajaklaris biar allah balas.. sy x nak maki hamun org.. biar lowyer buat kerja
For context, both Aliff Syukri and Diva AA (real name Azwan Ali) appeared on stage together to perform at the “The Roast of OKLETSGO” show that took place over the weekend in Singapore. During one part of the show, the entrepreneur can be seen forcefully pulling the TV host’s hair and dragging him across the stage. The audience assumed that this was all part of the performance but it appears that there was more to it.
After the humiliation, it was reported that Diva AA is now planning to sue the business owner for RM100 million. The 36-year-old responded to the news with a video posted on his TikTok yesterday (Monday, 6th November). In the video, Aliff accused the controversial celeb of using his name for clout. “RM100 million? How dare you? I’m so tired of arguing with people who are only using me for attention, what did I ever do to you? The court will simply not allow this,” he said.
Apart from that, it was also said that the father-of-six will also take legal action against the 57-year-old. Netizens have all reacted to the TikTok post with many believing that this is all part of some elaborate marketing strategy to promote the “The Roast of OKLETSGO” show. Others thought that the “Baby Sayang” singer’s actions on stage were not acceptable, especially since the host is older than him.
According to local news outlets, the organisers reportedly did not inform Aliff about him sharing the stage with Diva AA as the two have never been on good terms. “I told [the organisers] that I don’t feel comfortable around him. He started this mess. I would not have reacted that way if he had just left me alone,” he said. At the time of writing, there has been no update regarding the case but if all of this is real then we can assume that it’ll only get messier from here.
