Russian rapper Basta (Vasily Vakulenko), who is the most listened-to musician in Russia for a decade, has not consumed alcohol for 23 years. He stated this to the telegram channel "In Short | About bloggers".

"I don't drink alcohol ... April 19 will be 23 years old," said Basta.

According to the musician, he made such a decision.

"It interferes with life. I don't even remember what it was like anymore," he concluded.

As EADaily reported, in February of this year, due to a malfunction of the aircraft, Basta was unable to fly on time to his concert in Tashkent (Uzbekistan) from Almaty (Kazakhstan). The performance was postponed.
