Rapper Egor Creed
Singer Yegor Creed filed a lawsuit against Ekaterina Mizulina under the article “On the protection of honor, dignity, business reputation against citizens and legal entities.” The document was recorded on the website of the Moscow Zamoskvoretsky Court on November 16, 2023. The reason for this was the statement of the head of the “League for Safe Internet” (LSI), who called the rapper “the main fraudster of the country” for advertising online casinos in his streams. Translated from English, this word means “swindler”.
On April 26, Mizulina also reported that Creed and two other popular Russian bloggers had their accounts blocked on the Twitch streaming service.
“Egor Creed, Buster and PlohoyParen were blocked on the Twitch platform. “This is because their pages were included in the list of banned sites by Roskomnadzor, following the Safe Internet League’s objection regarding illegal advertising of online casinos by these publishers,” he said.
