Soon the careers of the performers diverged and they stopped communicating. Officially, no one has recognized the reason, but from an interview with Decl himself, it becomes clear that Timati was more focused on making money, and for this it was necessary to change the format of creativity.

9. VIP77 and "Gang"

In 1998, he became the founder of the VIP77 group, which included his friends.

Six years later, there were disagreements in VIP77 and it broke up, but soon it was restarted with an updated line-up.

11. The death of Shishkov and the collapse of the "Gang"

In 2007, Ratmir Shishkov and his friends got into a fatal accident, deciding to drive through a prohibitory traffic light. Their car crashed into another car, causing the gasoline in the tank to explode, killing all the passengers in Ratmir's car. This tragic event led to the disbandment of the Banda group.

12. The beginning of a solo career

The rapper's first solo album, called "Black Star", was released a year before the breakup of the "Gang". It contained seventeen tracks, including collaborations with famous stars Russian stage.

The cover copied the cover of one of 2PAC's albums. This, as well as the obvious plagiarism of Western colleagues, caused dissatisfaction among professional critics and a lot of accusations of plagiarism.

Among the most notable tracks of this album are: "Dance", "In the Club" and "Don't Go Crazy".

Ildar Yunusov, Timati's father, is a respectable businessman, so the future show business star never needed money.

Timati's real name was immediately changed to a pseudonym, although then his name was Timothy.

The "finest hour" came when he and his friends became part of the fourth season of "Factory". It was this project that helped the famous composer and producer Igor Krutoy notice such a performer as Timati.
