Her representative, Maria Kordupel, told socialbites.ca that the Russian singer Yegor Creed gives a free lesson “Conversations about important topics” for schoolchildren. Therefore, he commented on the information of the Mash Telegram channel that the artist received 4.5 million rubles for participating in the project.
“This information is not true. In the project “Conversations about the important things” there was a topic about fraud on the Internet, where young people were invited to participate as a leader of public opinion, since Yegor’s opinion was authoritative. Egor Creed gave this lecture for free, “he said.
As the Mash Telegram channel reported on May 14, Yegor Creed Wrote For Conversations about the important project, a two-minute video on what kind of fraud is on the Internet, for which he received 4.5 million rubles. The video begins with the words: “I don’t know what this video will teach you – most likely nothing.” In it, Creed talked about what fraud is and how to distinguish fake from real information. The training video lasted a minute, according to Mash, with the singer spending the second announcing her concert. Later, the Telegram channel deleted the news.
At the end of April, the Twitch streaming platform blocked Yegor Creed’s channel. The reason for the blocking is unknown, but in early 2023, the League of Safe Internet and the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Russian Federation drew attention to the channels of all Russian bloggers for illegal advertising of online casinos.
