Singer Valeria’s husband, producer Iosif Prigozhin, said that he “wanted” Valery Meladze. The statement was made on the broadcast of the TV channel. RTVI.
All statements made by Valera [Меладзе], – this is his choice. I have great respect for him, and I will tell you more: both me and representatives of the Russian Media Group, and even very high-ranking people, have almost already settled the Meladze issue. But now he’s crossed it all with his last shot. Does that mean the same attitude towards us?” said Prigogine.
According to the producer, Meladze’s position is “not a position, but stupidity” because “under these conditions there must be one position, no other.”
