A court in St. Petersburg ruled that one track by rapper Scally Milano, whose real name is Daniil Dmitriev, is banned. The decision was reported by TASS.
The city’s courts’ joint press service stated that the song in question contains obscene language and promotes drug use.
In April 2023, Scally Milano challenged the ruling, while the head of the Safe Internet League assured the broadcaster that his work does not aim to promote illegal drugs or violate Russian law. Subsequently, the Investigative Committee reportedly canceled the audit into Scally Milano on grounds related to drug propaganda.
By the end of 2023, the artist said he sought to promote positive values through his music. He stated that he had cleaned up all of his past material from large concert venues.
