A Russian rapper and music producer known as Pasha Technik, whose real name is Pavel Ivlev, faced job loss after failing to settle his debts for more than a year. This situation was reported by sources connected to the Shot network.
The IP Tekhnika company, launched four years ago, was audited and subsequently removed from the register of individual entrepreneurs.
Ivlev had officially registered as an individual entrepreneur to pursue blogging and music activities, yet over the past 15 months he did not file a tax declaration and owed more than 142 thousand rubles in debt tied to loans obtained.
In early June, Technik was released from a rehabilitation program where he was treated for substance use disorders. Reports indicated that the treatment cost the rapper and his team around two million rubles. Rumors suggested that he would stay in rehabilitation until at least September, but he left earlier. During this period, on August 14, a post appeared on Technik’s wife’s Telegram channel claiming that the rapper had returned to using illegal substances, though the post was later removed.
There were rumors in October that Technik might get a neck tattoo honoring a moment in his struggle with alcohol. Meanwhile, Iranian actresses who previously restricted wearing the hijab faced limitations in certain acting roles.
