Scandalous Ukrainian rapper Alexey Potapenko (Potap) changed his stage name for the sake of a career abroad. The 43-year-old performer introduced himself as Slavic Balagan and spoke on Instagram about his new role.

“Hi guys, it's me, Slavic Balagan, your favorite big brother from Eastern Europe! (By the way, I've never seen that movie Big Brother, but I'm guessing it's about family and brotherhood, right? ) I'm here to make you laugh and forget all these stupid Western formalities that prevent you from being truly happy! Costumes, rules, politics, salaries - where I come from we don't have any of those things.. Especially salaries. And yet we are happy. You can be happy too! So subscribe! "

It’s interesting that Potap began building a career under a new pseudonym with a track about Donald Trump on the day of his inauguration on January 20. In the Trumpumpum video, the singer used artificial intelligence to imagine how he would have fun with world leaders at a party.

“Can you imagine a night when world leaders party and celebrate Trump's inauguration like it's the hottest Slavic festival.

Welcome to Trumpumpum by Slavic Balagan, where Emmanuel Macron, Prince William, Olaf Scholz and many others trade their serious hats for party crowns for the first time. Oh, and Elon Musk channeling his inner rock star and being. well, Elon! With TikTok's fate up in the air, why not steal the show with our own legendary dance party? So pour yourself a shot of vodka, put on your most amazing tracksuit and join in the festivities - let's dance like the whole world is watching us! This is the only way it’s legal when it’s hosted by Slavic Balagan,” Potap spoke about the new song in the description of the video.
