The Opera Club in Warsaw has cancelled the performance of Russian rapper Scally Milano, who was scheduled to launch his European tour on 4 December. The organisers made this decision after receiving inquiries about the content of the performer's songs. Tickets for the event were already on sale, priced between 110 and 800 zloty, with the cheapest category having sold out.
The club owner commented on the situation as follows: “Not everything in life is done for money. There are things that have no price. Of course, we are cancelling this event. We firmly condemn Russia's aggression against Ukraine”.
The main reason for the cancellation was the track “Daёт”, recorded in 2021 in collaboration with rapper OG Buda. In one of the verses, Scally Milano compares a sexual act with the behaviour of “fascists” towards women in Poland during the war. This line was noticed by a reader who informed journalists about the planned concert.
This is not the only instance where the rapper's lyrics have caused outrage. In the track “Podkoly”, he compares his friend to Hitler, mentioning the occupation of Poland. His songs also feature themes of prohibited substances and violence. In another track, Scally Milano speaks offensively about Ukrainians, though he immediately claims it was a joke and assures of his love for Ukraine and Poland.
Scally Milano is the pseudonym of Danylo Dmytriiev, a 24-year-old musician from the city of Berezniki in the Perm Krai region. He gained widespread popularity with the track “Mamont”, released in 2020. Following its release, the phrase “zasamity mamonta” became widespread on the internet, meaning to deceive a naive victim online.
Since March 2025, the rapper has been listed in the Ukrainian “Myrotvorets” database. According to Stars About War, in November 2025, Scally Milano performed in occupied Crimea. There, a photograph of him was published showing the rapper sitting on the promenade of Russia-occupied Sevastopol, wrapped in the Russian flag.
The Opera Club, where the concert was to take place, is located in the building of the Wielki Theatre – the National Opera. Upon learning about the nature of the event and the controversy surrounding the rapper's songs, the theatre administration immediately demanded explanations from the tenant.
The official response stated: “Any manifestations of calls for violence, particularly violence against women, cause our categorical disagreement and are completely contrary to the values of our institution”. The theatre's further actions will depend on the explanations received from the tenant.
