However, in Vakulenko«s recollection, it was different. He said on his YouTube show that he was shot at after a concert at a »simple« club. Allegedly, a bullet »flew through the middle of the car«.
But later it turned out that a fan threw a bottle at the artist«s car that day. This was recounted in his Instagram (an extremist organization, activities banned in the Russian Federation) by Vladivostok radio host Dmitry Muravyov, known under the pseudonym Dima_graff.
«The concert took place at the nightclub »Chonkin Hall« in 2009, when the artist Basta was still performing under the alias Noggano. Before the concert, he was on my radio DFM for an interview. Afterwards, we went for a ride on the first party bus in Vladivostok at the time and arrived at the concert on it.»
According to Muravyov, after the concert, the crowd of fans never got an autograph session. When the artist was getting into the car, one of the fans threw a bottle at him, which hit the car. The rapper managed to close the door at the last moment.
