Moscow Court Fines Kazakh Rapper for “Offensive” Music
Rapper from Aktau Ruslan Gominov, known as Ganvest, was fined 95,000 rubles for the lyrics of a song deemed offensive to dignity and public morality, Orda.kz reports.
The decision was made by the Tagansky District Court of Moscow on March 30, 2026. The court found Ruslan Gominov guilty under Part 3 of Article 20.1 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation.
According to the court, in one of his tracks, the rapper used expressions in an indecent form that demonstrate disrespect toward society.
Earlier, the head of the Safe Internet League, Ekaterina Mizulina, drew attention to Ganvest's work. She sent the lyrics for examination and warned that the musician faced a fine. At the same time, activists from the "Forty Magpies" movement complained about the rapper. They demanded that the track "Vika Loves PEPE" be banned, considering its content unacceptable.
As a result, the court imposed an administrative fine of 95,000 rubles on the musician.
