The bombing in the DPR, which Russian rapper Ptaha (David Nuriev) allegedly fell under on March 8, turned out to be staged. On this subject reported TASS PR director of the artist Marina Evstifeeva.

“Ptakha and (rapper Andriy) 3022 decided to troll Ukrainian stars who take pictures and videos on the frontline, but the joke is clearly out of control,” Evstifeeva said.

Organizers of Ptakhi’s trip to the Donbass reported RIA Novosti said the video, in which the rapper allegedly came under fire, was filmed at a firing range “far enough from the front.”

According to the agency’s interlocutors, Ptakha and Andrei 3022 passed off the video filmed at the training ground as an “emergency situation”, after which they turned off their phones. They cut six seconds from the video and sent it to the trip organizers.

“All our attempts to find out details, help them or get them out of the red zone were unsuccessful as the guys turned off their phones and did not answer calls,” the agency’s interlocutors said.

On the evening of March 9, it turned out that the rappers were in the Rostov region and nothing threatened their lives.

life and the Mash telegram channel published a full video of the “bombing”, after which Ptah stopped contacting. On this one, the rapper picks up a phone from the ground, which he would have dropped during filming, and declares: “This is how we film Ukrainian stars, that they are on the front line. We are within reach.”

The commotion started, they couldn’t tell us. join, I wake up this morning – and I see: some kind of bogus is happening, ”he said in an interview with Life.
