Two rappers, Orkhan Akhmedov, known as Badri, and Goga Meladze, known as Baby Melo, were born in St. Petersburg. They were detained during a concert at Giant Hall on Kondratievsky Boulevard, according to reports circulating on Telegram channels. The incident quickly drew attention as the duo was reportedly taken away in handcuffs while still on stage.
Witnesses and attendees described a sudden security intervention during the performance. Onstage security personnel moved in, escorted the artists off the platform in cuffs, and led them toward a police wagon outside the venue. This dramatic moment was captured in several reports circulating online, with varying details about the sequence of events.
The Telegram channel reports suggest the arrest may have been linked to remarks made during the performance. One account notes that loud swearing from the stage prompted the intervention, while another version hints at additional allegations, including an incident involving a girl at a different establishment, which could have prompted authorities to become involved. The exact chain of events remains unclear, and officials have not publicly released a formal statement to clarify the motives behind the detention.
