Following growing criticism, Duta responded by locking their social media account to avoid further scrutiny. Screenshots show their account now set to private, with posts no longer accessible to the public. This defensive move comes amid widespread condemnation of their celebratory remarks and their apparent justification of violence and political extremism.

Duta’s inappropriate comments have cast a shadow over their reputation, leading many to question the moral compass of artists working within popular and influential media properties.
