MOSCOW, July 21 Singer Natalya Ionova is no longer part of the group “Gluk’oZa”; in the near future she will be banned from using this pseudonym, music producer Maxim Fadeev said in an audio message published in his Telegram channel.
“We have officially announced that she is no longer part of the group “Gluck’oZa”, which was created by me. She was just a guest actress — in fact, that’s why her time in the team ran out, so she was asked to leave. <…> “We can’t endure it anymore, so we have now decided to develop a lawsuit with our lawyers that will deprive her of the opportunity to use a pseudonym and sing my music. So we will try to do this due to the fact that this madness, this chaos needs to be stopped,” — he said.
This is how Fadeev commented on Ionova’s performance in Krasnoyarsk, where the singer appeared on stage drunk, behaved inappropriately and almost disrupted the concert on Metallurgist Day.
The producer clarified that Ionova was asked to leave the group in connection with her political statements.
«But today what happened in Krasnoyarsk goes beyond all boundaries. My reputation is affected, and my music is constantly in the shit with this nightmare that it creates,» he added.
At the end of last year, Fadeev announced the resumption of the Gluck'oZa project, but without Ionova, who was at the center of the scandal along with other participants in Anastasia Ivleeva's «naked party». The producer explained that “Gluck’oZa” is the name of the group he created in the early 2000s for a children’s audience, and not the singer’s pseudonym. Ionova, according to him, discredits the concept of the project — primarily with the musical material that it has been releasing in recent years.
