The Vasileostrovskiy District Court of St. Petersburg granted the prosecutor's claim to ban three tracks by rapper Scally Milano (Daniil Dmitriev). This is reported by the United press service of the courts of St. Petersburg.
The court banned the tracks "O", "TWO" and "Do It". The prosecutor's office indicated links to Internet resources in which the compositions are posted. They also accidentally banned links to the CBD FLOW track by rapper Lovv66, apparently deciding that it was also Scally Milano.
According to the examination, the lyrics contain propaganda for the use of drugs, as well as "information that forms a positive attitude towards the commission of drug trafficking."
“Considering the lyrics as a work of art, in the aggregate, the author positions himself as a person who uses drugs, as well as a person who approves of the sale of drugs. This information is able to form in the reader / listener of songs the desire to do the same, to repeat the actions of the author, and also to form a positive attitude towards the drug trade, ”the expert concludes.
On April 23, the police disrupted the Scally Milano concert at the Giant Hall in St. Petersburg. At the concert, the rapper, along with the audience, chanted “To *** war!”. After that, the head of the Safe Internet League, Ekaterina Mizulina, criticized the performer, called him a “bastard” and promised that her organization would seek to bring the performer to justice “for inciting minors to use drugs.”
Later, Dmitriev said on social networks that he was "ready to completely change the vector of creativity, which will be directed in a positive manner." Mizulina replied that she would "give him a chance" and stated that she had withdrawn her application for verification. In May, Scally Milano posted a photo of himself from a meeting with Mizulina.
Despite this, in mid-June, a court in St. Petersburg fined the rapper 40,000 rubles under an article about “discrediting” the Russian army because of a video from his concert.
