Prokhor Chaliapin on Show Business Intrigue and the Fate of a SHAMAN Colleague

An interview with singer Prokhor Chaliapin on news.ru reveals his candid views about the current music scene and the future of one of his SHAMAN colleagues. He suggests that within five to ten years, the emerging talent on the same stage could be undone by the pressures and intrigues that grip show business. The singer stresses that this colleague genuinely deserves a place on stage and is among the rare few who have earned a path forward. Yet Chaliapin predicts a swift decline, driven by the influence of restless industry insiders who, in his view, will overwhelm him with constant scheming and competition. He frames this as a familiar pattern in the business, where talent alone is not enough to secure longevity when surrounded by a web of rivalries and opportunistic moves. He adds that the talented figure is at risk of being consumed by the very culture that claims to elevate artists, echoing a veteran’s skepticism about how the industry operates behind the scenes.
