Timati addressed rumors of abandoning his girlfriend and newborn baby, stating bluntly: "It's true, I'm a narcissist, abuser, and display clear warning signs - that's just who I am"
Timati, the popular Russian rapper, has found himself at the centre of a controversy over his recent vacation abroad, shortly after the birth of his daughter, Emmo, with model Valentina Ivanova. The backlash on social media was intense, with many criticising Timati for neglecting his family duties and prioritising leisure over parental responsibilities.
The timing of the vacation, occurring just weeks after the birth of their child, intensified the criticism. Many followers voiced their opinions online, accusing Timati of being irresponsible and insensitive. Some comments highlighted the challenges Ivanova faced alone, emphasising the need for shared responsibility.
In response to the backlash, Timati explained that his vacation was planned well in advance and that he remained supportive of his family despite the physical distance. However, many felt his explanation was insufficient given the circumstances.
Rapper Timati, who also has two other children from two different model girlfriends, was labelled a "narcissist" and an "abuser" by some commenters. Valentina Ivanova also addressed the criticism in the comments, stating that if a relationship is messed up from the start, nothing will save it. She also added that marriage does not guarantee protection from breaking up.
The incident sparked a wider conversation about societal expectations for men in parenting roles and the pressures on public figures to model responsible family behaviour. Timur Yunusov, while Ivanova is at home with the child, is currently vacationing in the Turkish resort of Bodrum. Timati celebrated his birthday on a luxurious yacht with friends.
The comment about Yunusov receiving over 600 likes indicates that the public is largely on Ivanova's side. One commenter expressed disapproval, calling Yunusov's action a "disgusting act" and referring to him as a "narcissist."
Valentina Ivanova also addressed a more delicate topic in her response. She explained why Yunusov hasn't made her his wife yet, stating that it's not about the piece of paper, but about the commitment and love they share. Despite the controversy, the couple seems determined to navigate their relationship and parenting journey together.
Timati's vacation, amidst the birth of his daughter Emmo, led to debates about his priorities towards family entertainment. Critics labelled him insensitive and irresponsible, while his reaction seemed to aggravate the situation. Meanwhile, the public's support for Valentina Ivanova grew stronger, as comments about her partner Timur Yunusov's behavior reflected disapproval and accusations of narcissism.
