Calvin Dores, son of the late musician Deddy Dores, sparked widespread discussion on social media after posting on Instagram Stories that he would sell either his right or left eye for a transplant in exchange for Rp350 million to start a business. The 36-year-old musician voiced frustration over having no steady income.
In a post quoted on Sunday, May 17, 2026, Calvin wrote, “Andai aja ada yang mau transplantasi mata, gue jual nih mata kanan or kiri buat modal usaha.” He added, “Rp350 juta gue lepas dah ikhlas,” and stated, “Capek hidup begini. Benar-benar enggak ada pemasukan sama sekali!”
Calvin issued a firm disclaimer: “Disclaimer enggak terima nasihat apapun.” After the post went viral and drew mixed reactions, he removed the story but later reaffirmed his seriousness in a new upload.
“Once again I emphasize here, that selling my eye is very serious. Just DM if anyone needs it,” he wrote. Calvin has previously spoken openly about his economic struggles since his father passed away.
