Ukrainian rapper Kyivstoner was target of FSB hitman – Polish media
Well-known Ukrainian videoblogger and rapper Slevin Dadyan, also known as Kyivstoner, was to become the target of a killer hired by Russian special services during his stay in Poland, reports Polish radio station RMF FM.
Ukrainian rapper Kyivstoner, whose real name is Slevin Dadyan, faced a potential hitman threat from Russian special services while in Poland, according to Polish media reports. The Federal Security Service of Russia (FSB) accused Dadyan and fellow musician Albert Vasyliev of overseeing drone logistics for attacks on Russian strategic sites.
Polish Internal Security Agency (ABW) detained a Russian citizen allegedly preparing to murder a US-Ukrainian citizen on Russian intelligence's orders. Media sources suggest Russian forces believed the drones would be smuggled through Poland, Slovakia, and Belarus. Dadyan, a prominent figure in Ukrainian hip-hop, denies any extremist or terrorist connections.
Kyivstoner gained fame through humorous internet videos and co-founded the popular Ukrainian group Hryby. He later pursued a solo career, starring in films and condemning Russia's invasion of Ukraine. After the full-scale war began in 2022, Vasyliev fled Kyiv and now resides in Slovakia. Dadyan maintains an American passport and continues his musical and esports pursuits.
