Rapper Feduk recorded the main song for the movie “Okolofutbola” in 2013, after which the public began to associate him with hooligans, but the change in style brought him real success. Starhit remembered the artist's life story on the occasion of his 34th birthday.
Career
Fedor Insarov was born on February 9, 1992 in Moscow in the family of a physical education teacher and a Russian language teacher. The father of the future artist was in demand abroad, where he worked in schools at the Russian embassy – thanks to this, Fedor managed to live in China and Hungary. It was in Budapest that the young man began recording hip-hop tracks and chose the pseudonym Feduk, which was more understandable to his Hungarian colleagues.
Insarov's first shot at fame came when he was asked to create the soundtrack and video for the movie “Okolofutbola”. This was followed by the release of the album and collaborations with Raskolnikov, Kalmar and Pasha Technik. However, Feduk became truly famous after his achievements with Eldzhey – the hit “Rose Wine” blew up the charts, although it caused conflicts.
Two days after its release, the song's video was blocked: Eljay claimed he was unhappy with the color correction. Soon the video returned to YouTube and now the first name in the title is Uzenyuk's pseudonym. Given that it was Insarov who wrote the viral chorus, this shocked the community. The scandalous delicacy attracted even more public attention, and together with Fedor, Ivan Urgant, Alexander Gudkov and Igor Nikolaev released a vivid parody of the cult hit “Pink-Raspberry Wine”.
Next, Feduk released the song “Bachelor” with Yegor Creed and LSP, followed by the composition “Lambo” with rapper Platina. In collaboration with Dora, the composition “Late” was released.
The story with Eljay continued in 2019. It seemed that the artists had reconciled when they performed together. However, in 2023, Feduk sent a pre-trial request to his colleague – he demanded 5 million rubles for the illegal publication of the track Punks Not Dead without mentioning Insarov's authorship. However, in the fall of 2024, Fedor released the song SNOVA in a duet with Eljay, thereby making it clear that grievances were a thing of the past.
The breakup was difficult
Feduk has been dating Daria Panfilova for more than 5 years. Fedor did not talk about the reason for breaking up with her, but the artist's manager and friend Alexey Rozhkov was ultimately responsible.
“My wife Dasha was Fedya's girlfriend when we met. We had some kind of love. It happened that I stole his girlfriend from Fedya. I understand that this is terrible. For me, a child from the area, it was like I sold my soul. How Voldemort crushed his soul with a Horcrux. He committed the most terrible, unforgivable act,” he said.
Rozhkov honestly admitted to Feduk what happened. The rapper tried to act wisely and not quarrel, but in 2019, cooperation with the production label RNDM Crew ended.
Family
After losing his friend and girlfriend, Feduk did not despair. For some time, he was engaged only in creative work until he met a new love: Sasha, daughter of restaurateur Arkady Novikov. Fyodor charmed the girl and she charmed the musician's family.
“Fedya has a warm and loving family: mother, father, brother Fedya and his wife. They spend a lot of time together. The way he treats his parents is wonderful. By the way, we are different. Hot-tempered, we express everything to each other at the same time. And I think that is also wonderful—just different. I communicate with my parents as equals. Fedya – with honor,” Novikova said.
Feduk's illness helped Sasha realize the power of love: 5 years ago he had to stay in the intensive care unit because of suspected appendicitis. It turned out that the cause of the pain was long-standing adhesions. The girl couldn't see her lover due to quarantine, which made her even more worried.
In 2021, the couple held a private wedding. On March 2, 2022, Sasha gave birth to daughter Nina and now often shares revelations about motherhood with her subscribers.
