The Soviet and Russian singer, songwriter, composer, poet and actor Igor Nadzhiev accused the singer Alla Pugacheva, who fled the country, of hindering his creative career.
He recalled that in the USSR the Diva's word was decisive on television, and for many years Nadzhiev was deprived of the opportunity to appear in music programs, the <url> portal reports.
"She decided the fate of artists. Her phrase, said in relation to me, speaks for itself: "There is only one prince on the stage! There will never be another!“ This was said in the 1990s, when she was married to Philip Kirkorov, then the "prince", and now the "king" of our stage," said Nadzhiev.
According to him, she repeatedly allowed herself similar statements in the future, as a result of which the artist's performances were "constantly removed from the TV show," "even cut out of the program dedicated to the memory of the teacher — the great poet Leonid Petrovich Derbenev."
Nadzhiev also noted that for the first time he spoke about Pugacheva's influence on his creative destiny in 2020. Later, this material was blocked on many resources, but it is always available on the artist's social networks.
As reported by EADaily, earlier the author and performer of the hit "Apples in the Snow" Mikhail Muromov told about the negative impact of Pugacheva on her career and stage destiny. Singer Masha Rasputina did not want to stay under the patronage of Pugacheva, which is why she simply disappeared from the screens for several years. According to unconfirmed information, Pugacheva and Valentina Legkostupova, who was patronized by the pop master Iosif Kobzon, did not share the song of Raymond Pauls and Ilya Reznik.
Legkostupova herself explained the decline in her career by going on maternity leave.
