Rapper Fais, who has almost 2 million subscribers in “Instagram”, condemned the Russian invasion of Ukraine, left the country and stated that he would no longer give concerts in Russia. For the emergence of his name with the register of foreign agents, he responded in his social networks like this: “Thanks for the best birthday present! The first rapper-foreign agent! A huge honor for me and the indicator of what I do everything right.”
