> Veteran singer Ameng Spring has hit back at Liza Hanim, claiming she is “riding on his popularity” after she expressed disappointment over his recent livestream remarks, Kosmo! reported.
Ameng, who is also known as Wan Aminuddin Wan Ismail, 58, clarified that his comments – suggesting a competition victory does not guarantee fame – were intended for his daughter, Azeva Natassha, who is currently competing in the second season of Talk To My Manager (TTMM).
He denied targeting Liza’s daughter, Marsya Qistina, who won the first season.
“In that live session, I said not to expect victory, but I never mentioned TTMM1 or Marsya. Liza does not need to overreact.”
