Kamenskykh's struggle with the Ukrainian language became the main running gag on "Star Factory"

Former Ukrainian singer Nastya Kamenskykh became the butt of jokes right during a live broadcast of the talent show “Fabrika Zirok.” The show’s host, Volodymyr Dantes, brought up the singer’s scandalous “brush” incident from the stage and ironically remarked that, unlike his colleague, the Ukrainian language would certainly not cause the show’s contestants any similar health problems.

 

“By the way, our contestants aren’t afraid of the brush, so all the songs are exclusively in Ukrainian,” Dantes said.

The sharp joke was made during the first prime-time show, which aired on Sweet TV, and sparked a storm of reaction in the audience. The audience began to applaud loudly, laugh, and shout, thereby expressing their disapproval of Kamenskykh’s stance on the language issue.

The audience greeted the joke directed at the once-respected Ukrainian singer with applause.

As a reminder, Ukrainian writer and musician Serhiy Zhadan commented on the behavior of artists who have moved abroad and feel free to criticize our country from there. The conversation was prompted by recent statements by Potap and Nastya Kamenskykh regarding the Ukrainian language.

Nastya Kamenskykh attributed her return to the Russian language to physical health issues.

Ukrainian singer Nastya Kamenskykh has been in a relationship with rapper Potap for many years; according to widespread rumors, she allegedly broke up with him this year. In reality, it was a PR stunt.
