Singer Darya Zoteeva, who performs under the stage name Instasamka, announced in an interview with journalist Ksenia Sobchak that she intends to retire her well-known stage name. The performer admitted she feels an inner need for change and is ready to end one stage of her career.
“I can't imagine behaving like this my whole life and doing this. Instasamka will be gone in 10 years. Soon, the Instasamka nickname will be gone. I'm changing my name and leaving it in everyone's memory,” said the singer of the hit “For Money Yes.”
According to the singer, her decision stems from a desire for professional growth and a search for a new creative direction. Before bidding farewell to her Instasamka persona, she is preparing a final album for release. The project, according to the singer, will feature both Russian and international artists.
Following the album's release, the artist intends to perform under a new name, symbolizing the beginning of a new chapter in her career. Details of the rebranding have not yet been disclosed, but it is known that Daria's new pseudonym will begin with the word “Money. “
The day before, Instasamka accused stylist Nikolai Ovechkin of embezzling three million rubles allocated for the video shoot. He, in turn, apologized to the artist and stated that he had returned the money to Zoteeva and that all matters had already been resolved.
