Putin singing lapdogs' Spotify accounts hacked, calling for ending the war in Ukraine
Pro-Ukrainian hackers have breached the accounts of pro-Putin singers Oleg Gazmanov and Grigory Leps on the Spotify platform that left Russia in April 2022. They replaced the photos of Kremlin supporters with images of the Lviv rapper Clonnex and posted anti-war statements on their pages, according to Russian media.

The hackers also included links to a Telegram channel.
The authors of this channel promise to feature singer Clonnex as their profile picture for all artists who support the Putin regime.
Moreover, Oleg Gazmanov and Grigory Leps supported the deployment of Russian forces in Ukraine and performed at a concert in Luzhniki for the anniversary of the full-scale invasion and in occupied Donetsk.
