The whole Belarusian show business sooner or later finds itself in Russia. In order for a Belarusian to become popular, he must first become popular somewhere and then Belarusians will accept him, said the Belarusian performer Ap$ent (Arseniy Kislyak) to the project VotVot.TV .
Ap$ent also believes that Russian and Belarusian artists cannot be compared.
"Belarusians are not Russians, that's all, they are really different. Our groups: "Lapis Trubetskoy" is a positivist, this same Tim Belorusskikh is a positivist, Max Korzh is a positivist, always a positivist. Russian music is constantly "I'll kill the neighbors," "I'm depressed,"" Ap$ent expressed his opinion.
Note that he alludes to the song of the runaway from Russia Zemfira *, in which there is such a line: "do you want me to kill the neighbors that interfere with sleep?".
As EADaily reported, Ap$ent lived in Belarus for a long time. His most popular track "Can I be with you" for a long time stayed on the top lines in the top services "Yandex Music", "MTS music", "VK music" and "Sound". On the YouTube platform, the video clip with this song has currently gained 42 million views.
This song was written in 2022. At the same time, the artist's wife Maria was sentenced by the court to a year of restriction of freedom due to insults of the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko in the comments of the telegram channel. Before the execution of the sentence, the artist and his wife left for Georgia, and then in Poland.
In March of this year, the Yandex Music service restricted access to the Ap$ent page, and it still remains blocked. A representative of the service said that Yandex Music received a notification from Roskomnadzor demanding that the Ap$ent page be blocked on March 27. MTS Music said that in the near future the profile of the Belarusian artist will also be blocked. The reason for the blocking was not called, but the artist himself wrote on the social network that it happened because of "envy, meanness and hypocrisy."
