'Returned after scandal': Navai speaks out after drug arrest

Russian rapper Navai Bakirov, known under the stage name Navai, returned to concert activity after a high-profile detention in Kazakhstan. The musician spoke to fans at the venue in Moscow, where for the first time since the incident publicly touched upon the topic of his absence on stage. This was reported on November 9 by the publication “Absatz”.

Earlier, the perpetrator was detained on the border of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan in connection with the drug case. The incident occurred in October and attracted the attention of fans of the artist, but later the criminal prosecution was stopped taking into account active repentance. At the Moscow concert, Navai explained the break in performances by the events that occurred, after which he continued to communicate with the audience in the usual format.

After the concert, the musician refused to discuss the circumstances of the detention with the press. According to journalists, the security did not allow reporters to approach the performer and ask him questions. The artist himself did not give additional public comments about the incident.
