An Independent Defense to Shield His Father from Public Rumors
The young singer explained that his emotional social media outbursts were driven solely by a deep desire to shield Ruben Onsu from various negative allegations. Speaking to reporters in Senayan, Central Jakarta, on June 29, 2026, Peto expressed hope that the ongoing family controversies would resolve quickly while extending an apology to anyone who felt offended by his posts.
Peto emphasized that the decision to speak out was entirely his own initiative, made without the prior knowledge or intervention of Ruben Onsu. The teenager from East Nusa Tenggara painstakingly drafted the messages himself, carefully calming his emotions beforehand to ensure that his online statements reflected clear thinking rather than spontaneous anger.
