Russian rapper Ptakha (real name David Nuriev) faked his falling under shelling in the DPR and further disappearance, said “RIA Novosti” PR director of the artist Marina Evstifeeva. Thus, the musician tried to “parody” the Ukrainian stars who visited the front line.
“Bird and 3022 decided to troll the Ukrainian soldier stars who are revealingly taking photos / videos on the front line, but the joke is clearly out of control. Everything is fine with the artists, they got in touch, ”said Ms. Evstifeeva.
The unnamed organizers of Ptakhi’s trip to the DPR also told the agency journalist that they were victims of a prank on the musician. “Ptakha and his comrade Anton 3022 filmed a video at the shooting range, then cut six seconds out of it and sent it to us. Anton 3022 only said that they “came under fire”. All our attempts to find out the details, to help them or take them out of the red zone were unsuccessful, as the guys turned off their phones and did not answer calls, ”they said.
Already in the Rostov region, Ptakha and his companion published a full video, where they admitted that what was happening in the video with the shelling was filmed at the training ground. “This is how Ukrainian stars are filmed, that they are on the first line,” the rapper said. In the video, gunshots are heard at first, and then the rapper picks up the phone and shows the landfill.
The fact that the rap artist Ptah came under fire in the Donetsk People’s Republic on the night of today, March 9, was reported by his PR director. Ms. Evstifeeva said that the musician went to the DNR with humanitarian aid. The trip was supposed to last a week.
