A recent report from a Telegram channel claims that singer and rapper Niletto organized a peculiar rider for a driver. The details are shared as a snapshot of the artist’s requests in a backstage setup, described by the channel as the Ural Mash. The report notes a table of preferences that go beyond standard backstage needs, featuring a mix of food, beverages, and luxury items that reflect a highly specific taste. This account, while sensational, has become part of a broader discussion about rider expectations in the entertainment industry as reported on social media channels.
According to the Telegram update, Niletto is seeking four million rubles for a performance. The rider allegedly includes a hookah and a designated hookah user in the artist’s dressing room, a 12 year old bottle of Chivas Regal, a pack of cigarette cigarettes, six energy drinks, and a large pizza measuring about 40 centimeters, complemented by five packs of noodles. The vehicle requirement calls for a Mercedes car no older than three years and at least an S class. These stipulations paint a picture of a rider that blends luxury with certain personal preferences and brand expectations, as reported in the channel’s narrative.
In another recent anecdote shared by comedian Soryan, there is talk about a well known entertainer, Maxim Galkin, who has been labeled a foreign agent in Russia by authorities. The report suggests that Galkin is asking for 100 thousand euros per hour for performances at European venues. A separate clarification indicated that the director involved was not concerned with the name of the company or its ability to meet the wage demands. The focus remained on whether the paying party could satisfy the listed rider needs and whether the performer would accept the conditions, in addition to the monetary compensation and travel tickets described as part of the arrangement.
Earlier statements from Vyacheslav Makarov touched on a broader discussion about on set occurrences and unusual demands, such as those encountered during the filming of the show Mask. The comments highlight how backstage expectations and on set logistics can create surprising or contentious moments, drawing attention to the interplay between creative control, budgeting, and the practical realities of accommodating high profile personalities on set. These narratives have fueled ongoing conversations about professionalism, negotiation, and the reality behind public personas in the entertainment industry as observed across social media and industry circles.
