Outside music

In 2024, she was a contestant on the Russian version of The Masked Singer. In September, she drew public attention and outrage after she posted a Tiktok video of herself humiliating a little girl (who happened to be a quadrober) at a concert in Nadym and inciting the audience to boo the lost eight-year-old to tears. After fans and child safety authorities scolded the singer for this, she avoided a scheduled public meeting with fans who had been waiting to see her, instead sneaking out a fire exit.[17][18]
In 2024, she participated in Celebrities in Africa.[19]
