A passionate follower of rapper Guf Sofia shared the sequence of events surrounding a serious incident at a concert that led to a facial bone fracture and a traumatic brain injury. The account was quoted by Life with reference to Shot, capturing a firsthand recount of the night.
The woman described going to the show with a friend, and they were seated in the VIP section. Nearby sat another group that included a man and his companion. At first, the assailant seemed to shoot skeptical glances at the two women and their friend, and his behavior grew disrespectful, even demanding that Sofia not be touched in a way that came off as dismissive and aggressive.
About 20 minutes before the curtain call, the man started to leave but before stepping away he seized the phones from the women and struck Sofia. The witness noted that she was able to capture the harasser on video using her phone.
Authorities have stated that investigators are actively pursuing the attacker, with the search ongoing for a suspect linked to the reported battery and interference during the performance.
The previous day there were reports that Guf held a Moscow concert that was described as risky. Dolmatov described the show as spontaneous, performing songs from a new album that touches on a period when his relationship with Yulia Koroleva was strained.
During that performance Dolmatov also addressed his sister, who had opposed the show, and he impersonated her in a public moment, calling her a poor, unfortunate sister. The scene drew attention and sparked conversations about personal boundaries and the responsibilities of public figures when addressing family members in public spaces.
Earlier Timati explained why he had not released new music recently, a detail that added to the broader discussion around the artists’ schedules and creative cadence during that period.
