Despite the excitement surrounding his newfound fame, Rayyan's mother, Rani Ridawati, expresses her concerns for his well-being while dancing on the boat, highlighting the risks involved but reassuring that safety measures, including a rescue team, are in place.
Rayyan's talent has not gone unnoticed. Recently, he was honored by the governor of Riau as a cultural ambassador, and his dance has led to various media appearances in Jakarta. With dreams of becoming a police officer, Rayyan shares an uplifting message for aspiring dancers: "Stay healthy, friends, so you can become like me." The budding sensation continues to charm the world with his infectious energy and creativity.
