Singer Semyon Slepakov obscenely apologizes to Russian football team and Kadyrov

In his new song recorded together with the "Leningrad" group, Semyon Slepakov has apologized to the Russian national football team for the song about its failure with Ramzan Kadyrov as the head coach. The new song was performed 11 days after the call of the head of Chechnya to the singer to record a new track.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on June 11, the poet and singer Semyon Slepakov posted a satirical song about the failure of the head of Chechnya as the head coach of the Russian national football team. According to the song, even the tough methods practiced in Chechnya could not help the team. On June 12, Djambulat Umarov, the Minister for National Policy, External Relations, Press and Information of Chechnya, urged the singer to apologize to Kadyrov.

Russia successfully played two starting matches at the FIFA World Cup – against Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

In the new song, full of obscenities, Sergey Shnurov, the leader of "Leningrad", and Semyon Slepakov have apologized for their disbelief in the success of the Russian team.

"Excuse us, guys," the singers sang, calling the players champions.

"Now you are heroes for us, our people are bowing to you; if someone opens his mouth, we'll tear this mouth," Slepakov and Shnurov have emphasized.

The authors pointed to the volatility of people's love, warning the footballers: "You just lose once," and the society will again be disposed negatively.

The new song was recorded under pressure, some YouTube users have concluded.
