A recent statement from a representative of the Russian artist Grigory Leps clarified that the performer has no interest in hacking into his Spotify account. The official remark described the claim as unfounded and unimportant to the artist, who is not engaged with the platform for any artistic or commercial purpose, emphasizing a separate focus on his music and public projects.
The spokesperson added that Leps does not monitor or participate in Spotify activities, reinforcing that the platform remains irrelevant to his current artistic strategy. This denial came as part of broader speculation circulating about alleged breaches and unauthorized access to several public figures’ profiles on major streaming services.
Meanwhile, the press secretary for Oleg Gazmanov confirmed that the musician’s team is actively examining suspicious activity following a reported account breach. The response highlighted ongoing investigative steps and a commitment to safeguarding the artist’s digital presence.
The spokesperson stated that work continues behind the scenes as investigators review access logs, security settings, and potential indicators of a coordinated intrusion. The intention is to determine how the breach occurred, assess the scope of any damage, and implement measures to prevent future incidents.
In related developments, October 23 brought unusual changes to several artist pages, including altered photos and new content appearing in place of official portraits. A self-portrait from a Lviv-based rapper known as Clonnex, whose legal name is Severin Nakonechny, surfaced online with a pro-Ukrainian message alongside game screenshots. The appearance of this content triggered discussions about the resilience of artist profiles and the speed with which social media assets can be manipulated during security incidents.
Following these events, hackers claimed they had also attempted to compromise the accounts of other performers, including SHAMAN, and reportedly gained access to pages linked to Khabib as well as the duo Galibri & Mavik. The hacks underscored a broader pattern of attacks targeting prominent figures, where social engineering and credential stuffing can coincide with platform vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized entry.
In a separate, non-technical update, Valery Meladze addressed rumors about a personal matter involving his family circle, specifically denying any confirmation of rumors regarding the divorce of his sister from Brezhneva. The statement served to reassure fans and reduce speculation that might distract attention from ongoing artistic activities and public appearances.
