«Vanya reached out to me and apologized for what happened. I deleted the video so it wouldn»t spread any further. Please, please, don«t write anything bad about Lera, Vanya»s sister. She is a wonderful, talented girl. And she is definitely not to blame in this situation,« Linochka Li wrote in her Stories.

On 4 August, the NGS24.RU editorial team gave Vanya Dmitrienko«s PR team an opportunity to share their version of events. However, they chose to stay silent: the singer»s representatives read the journalists« messages and left them unanswered, and either did not answer calls or hung up after hearing who was calling.
Dmitrienko himself also did not react to the conflict in any way, but actively reposted videos from his concert to his Stories.
What the scandal is about: Vanya Dmitrienko has a collaboration with Linochka Li — the song «Ty so mnoy» («You Are with Me»). However, instead of Lina, his sister Lera Dmitrienko came on stage at Luzhniki and performed the song with him. Lera was subsequently accused of singing to a backing track.
Linochka Li, in turn, noted that she had no objection to the song being performed, but did not appreciate the use of her voice.
«I believe that by this act you are discrediting Lera Dmitrienko. Look at the comments under your joint performance. People aren»t deaf. Let«s please respect each other and be professionals,» the singer said in her video, which she deleted after Vanya«s apology.
Valeria herself reacted very briefly to the situation:
«I have nothing to say. It»s not true,« she told Super.ru.
Meanwhile, the singer became the youngest artist to sell out Moscow«s Luzhniki Stadium — the achievement was entered into the Russian Book of Records.
Dmitrienko was born and raised in Krasnoyarsk, where he began studying music before moving to Moscow. He still has acquaintances, former classmates and his own father there. NGS24.RU correspondent Tatyana Zarva spoke with them for a separate feature about the artist.
