The reason for the scandal was the new clip of Potap, in which he, with the help of artificial intelligence, depicted the fight of Tina Carol with the Ukrainian singer Loboda. In the anons video, Ukrainian artists are depicted in the form of animals who were set at each other, while the first to the combat rack was Loboda, forcing Tina Karol to defend herself.
Tina Karol, in response, accused the artist of parasitizing on famous artists who became more successful than himself.

“This is not creativity, but a void, disguised as a provocation. To use images, to disfigure them to draw attention to where there is no content for a long time, this is not a gesture of the artist, but an act of despair,” said Tina Karol. “This is a cheap vagabond in the shadows of those whom you will never become.”
She recalled that Potap, who escaped from Ukraine two years ago, does not imagine what was happening in Kyiv.
“Dated,” the artist Potap, yelled in response, yapping her page. He accompanied the active link with the image of the heart.
Context
