Timati's brother. Timur Yunusov (Timati): biography, personal life, career

Timati (Timur Yunusov)

Timati, real name Timur Ildarovich Yunusov (Tat. Timur Ildar uly Yunusov). Born on August 15, 1983 in Moscow. Russian rap artist, music producer, actor and entrepreneur. Honored Artist of the Chechen Republic (2014).

Father - Ildar Yunusov, a major businessman, Tatar by nationality.

Mother - Simona Yakovlevna, nee Chervomorskaya, Jewish by nationality.

“I have very wealthy parents... My father raised me in such a way that I had to achieve everything myself,” said the artist.

But despite such a strict upbringing and demands for his son to be independent, the future star never needed money. Timati grew up a major. He spent his childhood on Mira Avenue.

He is the eldest son in the family. He has a younger brother Artem, who later began to actively help Timati in his work, in particular, working on finding suitable musical compositions for performance.

Timati has two scars from knife cuts, which are located just below the solar plexus on the right side of his abdomen. Obviously, pranks of childhood or youth.

The musician began earning money and playing music from an early age. Already in 1998, at the age of 15, he was the leader of the group VIP77, and a year later he became one of Decl’s backing vocalists. Timati immediately changed his real name to a pseudonym, although originally he was Timothy.

In 2004, he became widely known thanks to his participation in the fourth season of “Star Factory”. The famous composer and producer noticed him on this project. He helped Timati release two singles, which became popular and topped the radio station ratings.

Timati - "Heaven is Crying" (Factory-4)

In 2005, he revived the group VIP77 with a new lineup. The group did not last long and broke up in 2006, and some members moved to Timati's Black Star label.

In 2006, his debut solo album, Black Star, was released. The production center Black Star Inc. was also created. This is how the clothing collection “Black Star by TIMATI” appeared, aimed at R’n’B and hip-hop youth.

In 2007, two of Timati’s close friends, Ratmir Shishkov and Deema, died in an accident, which was a big blow for him. But in the same year, the track “Dirty Sluts” was released together with Bogdan Titomir and Dzhigan, Timati’s first solo concert took place at the Zhara club, organized by Phlatline. Tracks from Fat Joe, Nox and Xzibit were also recorded.

In 2008, he recorded the video “Don’t Go Crazy” for the track of the same name from the Black Star album, the track “Forever” with Bad Boy Records artist Mario Winans.

In the same year, together with the Sprandi company, the first line of sportswear “TS Timati for Sprandi” was released, the presentation of which took place at Russian Fashion Week in Moscow.

Timati also became a character in the mobile game “The Whole World Against Timati” (“Timati Incide”), developed by mobile entertainment provider Iricom, together with a team of game developers from PageNet.

In 2009, 3 singles from the album The Boss were released, and on November 13, the presentation of Timati’s second album, The Boss, took place at the Moscow club Milk.

Also in the spring of 2009, during a medical examination at the military registration and enlistment office, a psychiatrist marked the rapper as “mentally unbalanced,” which is why he was not accepted into the army.

In 2010, the video “Time” was released for the track of the same name from the album The Boss. In April, a video for the song “How Much Is Love” was released, directed by Pavel Khudyakov.

On June 1, 2010, the first clothing store from Timati opened. On the same day, Timur held a large charity concert with the participation of DJ Smash, Sergei Lazarev and the group “Fidgets”.

In 2012, he starred in a campaign video for the 2012 presidential campaign.

He was an ambassador for the 2013 Universiade, which took place in Kazan.

On October 28, 2013, the fourth studio album 13 was released. In 2014 and 2016, three more albums by the rapper were released, one of which was intended for Japan.

Timati has repeatedly participated in film projects, in particular, he starred in the sequel to the film Odnoklassniki. He also released his own film called “Capsule”. Without looking away from the cinema, the rapper in 2014-2015 recorded the tracks “Beard”, “Show-offs”, “Bomb Girl”, “Utesov”, “GTO”, “Hey, why are you so daring?” and made several videos.

The list of his professional achievements also includes dubbing the role of Tremaine in the film “District 13: Brick Mansions” and participating in the song show “I Want to Meladze,” where he appeared before television viewers as one of the jury members.

Professional music critics accuse Timati of the inferiority of his work in comparison with Western artists. Timati was repeatedly caught in obvious plagiarism: for example, on the album Black Star he took an instrumental from the group Clipse and presented it as his own composition “Zombie”, and the track “Alone” from the album The Boss turned out to be a simple translation of Kanye West’s song “Welcome to Heartbreak” ”, which has undergone a small arrangement and adaptation for the Russian listener.

Artem Yunusov- younger brother Timati, famous rap artist. Born on February 19, 1987 in Moscow.

The external similarity between Artem and his star brother Timur is colossal, but everyone who knows them personally emphasizes that they are completely different. And not surprisingly, according to their mother Simona Yunusova, in childhood the brothers competed with each other, and even now they can argue a little.

Artem works in show business. If Timati is known by the whole world, then Artyom is known by all lovers of nightlife. He is the most popular Moscow DJ named DJ Temniy. He works in the most prestigious clubs in the capital, and not a single major party takes place without his participation.

Like his older brother, Artem is in no hurry to tie the knot. Although, just recently, he was ready to get married to a former participant in the reality show “Dom-2” Lisa Kutuzova. But the girl left Artem and married someone else.

Artem Yunusov has a page on Instagram - @killahslim, here you can not only look at photos of the star, but also be the first to know the news of his personal life.

The finalist of the sixth season of the Bachelor project, Victoria Korotkova, and Artem Yunusov, Timati’s brother, increasingly catch the eye of the paparazzi in the same company and their photos together are circulating on the Internet, so fans assumed that they were dating.

Then, viewers of the famous show watched for three months as the young brunette wooed the popular performer Yegor Creed. During this time, the model acquired her own army of fans, who still continue to be interested in the girl’s life.

Vika Korotkova with new friends

Subscribers of the ex-participant of “The Bachelor” see stories and photos on her Instagram in the same places as Yunusov’s. Later, the man even posted a joint shot with the brunette. And recently, paparazzi photographed the alleged couple in a restaurant where they spent time together. There were also eyewitnesses who saw Artem kissing Vika in a not at all friendly manner near a Moscow cafe.

It is known that the finalist is in close contact with another model Nastya Reshetova, who, in turn, is dating Timati. Girls go to social events, walk together and often post joint shots online, tagging each other in them. According to followers, it was the Yunusovs who united the girls.

Let us remind you that Timati’s brother is also a musician, he performs in nightclubs as a DJ, and also collaborates with his famous relative and his Black Star label.

The newly minted couple themselves have not yet confirmed or denied the public’s opinion. Fans of the stars are sure that they will attend Yegor Creed’s birthday together, and they will not hide their feelings there.

Victoria Korotkova

Recently, rumors arose on the Internet that the finalist of the show “The Bachelor” Victoria Korotkova (22) was dating Timati’s younger brother (34) Artem Yunusov (31). The information appeared on one of the fan pages dedicated to the project. “Yesterday Victoria Korotkova was waiting for a car at the coffee shop, @killahslim got out, they kissed (not as friends obviously) and left together,” they write in the public (Spelling and punctuation of the author - Ed.). Then Artem shared a photo on his Instagram with Korotkova and Anastasia Reshetova (22). Internet users, by the way, note that the girls are very similar to each other.

And it seems that Artem and Vika really are having an affair. Insiders close to the couple confirmed this to us. And just yesterday, videos from the same restaurant appeared in Korotkova and Yunusov’s Stories.

Roman Yunusov brother Timati

In chapter Social life and show business to the question Is it true? Is it true that Timur Yunusov (Timati) and Roman Yunusov (resident of the Comedy Club) are brothers? given by the author Pounce the best answer is Namesakes.
Timati has one brother - Artyom, who is three and a half years younger than him. This is a truly promising shot for fans of dark-skinned bodies. Now Artyom is helping Timati - he listens to a lot of music, chooses new compositions and rewrites them for his brother.

Childhood and family

Timur Yunusov was born into a wealthy family. His father, businessman-investor Ildar Vakhitovich Yunusov, from whom Timati inherited a commercial streak, has Tatar roots. The artist’s mother, Simona Yakovlevna Yunusova, nee Chervomorskaya, is Jewish by nationality. Timati is not the only child in the family; he has a younger brother, 3.5 years old, Artem, known in the music world under the pseudonym DJ Temniy.

The future artist spent his childhood in his parents’ apartment on Mira Avenue. From an early age, he showed his creative abilities, and therefore his parents enrolled him in a music school, where for the next four years he studied the intricacies of playing the violin. But the boy did not have any particular love for the instrument, practicing only at the request of his mother, whose family included many musicians.

Timati began to become interested in rap and hip-hop at about 13 years old, having visited the States, the primary source of rap culture. Around this time, he got his first tattoo - a fire dragon.

In 1998, Timati founded the group VIP77, which included his friends: Pasha, Baby Lee, MC Dynamite, Master Spensor, Leo and Dominic Joker. In the wake of common interests, he met Decl, not even suspecting that the father of his new friend was the famous producer Alexander Tolmatsky. Timati helped Decl with writing a solo album - he can be heard on backing vocals in the album “Who are you”, and can also be seen in the video for “Party at Decl’s House”. The creative union never resulted in anything more, and therefore the paths of the young rappers diverged.

After graduating from school, Timati entered the Higher School of Economics, but dropped out of school six months later because he could not combine it with nightlife: together with his friends, he threw parties in the best clubs in the capital. He was one of the first to begin promoting the famous Moscow night hip-hop clubs Most and Marika.

Timati at the Star Factory

In 2004, VIP77 disbanded, reviving a year later with a new lineup: Timati, Pasha, Deema, Walter and Yulia Vashchekina. At the same time, Timati, together with Dominic Joker, Ratmir Shishkov and Nastya Kochetkova, passed the casting for the musical reality show “Star Factory-4”. Under the leadership of producer Igor Krutoy, the young people who formed the Banda group recorded songs, were trained by the best teachers in Russia, and became more and more popular with each reporting concert.

The guys did not make it to the finals - that season the winners were Irina Dubtsova, Anton Zatsepin and Stas Piekha. However, the producers paid attention to the guys and gave the young artists the opportunity to record their album and shoot a video. Long after the finale of “Factory,” their hit “Heaven is Crying” is heard from every second radio in the country. But the album “New People” was received by listeners without much excitement.

“Star Factory”: Timati – “Heaven is Crying” (2004)

After this, Timati, together with other members of the Factory, went on a tour of Russia, which lasted several months. Returning from tour, Timati opened the Black club (B-club) nightclub.

On March 23, 2007, Ratmir, his girlfriend, Deema from VIP77 and two other people got into an accident when their car ran a red light. The car crashed into an SUV, causing the gas tank to detonate. All passengers died in the fire, unable to get out of the mangled car. After Ratmir's death, the Banda group announced its dissolution.

Solo career. Black Star

Timati's debut solo album "Black Star" was released in 2006, even before the collapse of the "Gang". The disc featured 17 compositions, including duets with Irina Dubtsova, Ksenia Sobchak, Karina Koks, Alexa, Fyodor Bondarchuk and the group Uma2rman. The cover itself was a copy of the cover of Tupac's album Until the End of Time.

Because of this, as well as because of obvious borrowings from Western colleagues (for example, he took the entire beat for the composition “Zombie” from the group Clipse), professional music critics like Artemy Troitsky have repeatedly accused Timati of plagiarism.

The pioneers of the rap genre in Russia also disliked Timati. After Timati and Dominic Joker covered the Bad Balance track “Bitch-Love” and the composition was included in the soundtrack to a documentary dedicated to the memory of Micah from Bad Balance, the band leader Vlad Valov accused Timati of mocking the deceased.

In parallel with his musical career, Timati was actively involved in business. In 2006, his label Black Star Inc was founded, which subsequently released rappers L’One, Mot, Yegor Creed, Misha Marvin, Scrooge, Christina C and other young performers onto the Russian music scene.

At the beginning of 2007, the comedy “Heat” was released on television, in which Timati played one of the main roles along with Alexei Chadov, Nastya Kochetkova and Konstantin Kryukov.

In the same year, Timati voiced the main character in the cartoon “Catch the Wave.”

Timati did not serve in the army. In 2008, he was declared unfit for military service as “mentally unbalanced,” since, according to Russian law, a conscript whose body is covered with tattoos on more than 50% receives a certificate from a psychiatrist.

In 2008, Timati, together with Dj Smash, released the hit “Moscow Never Sleeps”, which was awarded the MTV Russia Music Awards in the “Debut” category.

In 2008, together with the Sprandi company, Timati released the first line of sportswear, TS Timati for Sprandi, the presentation of which took place at Russian Fashion Week in Moscow. And in 2010, under the Black Star Wear label, Timati began producing a personalized line of youth clothing.

The year 2009 was marked by the release of Timati's second album, laconicly titled The Boss. In the summer of the same year, another close friend and colleague of Timati, DJ Dlee, died in a car accident.

In 2012, Timati's third studio and first English-language album SWAGG, consisting of 21 tracks, was released. Work on the record took three years, and the invited guests were no longer Russian celebrities, but international stars: P. Diddy, Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, Craig David, Laurent Wolf.

The result exceeded all expectations - SWAGG became popular not only in Timati’s homeland. Statistics Black Star Inc. showed that in terms of the level of rotation of compositions from the album, Europe beat the indicators of Russia and the CIS countries. Moreover, the composition “Welcome to Saint-Tropez” managed to dislodge Lady Gaga from the first place on international iTunes.

A year later, the presentation of the Russian-language album “13” took place. The record failed to break the records of the third album, but the album topped the iTunes charts in the CIS and Baltic countries. Pavel Murashov, Christina Sy, Mot, L’One and Fidel helped Timati with the recording.

In the same 2013, Timati, together with Snoop Dogg, starred in the Russian comedy “Odnoklassniki: Call for Luck,” which told about a young designer who received the magical opportunity to fulfill any wish simply by writing it in the status of a social network. Despite the presence of stars, the film failed at the box office.

In 2014, Timati, who is in close relations with the Head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov, was awarded the title of Honored Artist of the Chechen Republic.

In September 2016, the Black Star Burger eatery opened in Moscow, on Novy Arbat. Timati invited customers to try completely black burgers while wearing black latex gloves, which have become a kind of “feature” of the restaurant. The singer planned to open a second burger shop in Grozny - Kadyrov personally asked him about this.

Timati's personal life

In an interview, Timati admitted that he never had serious feelings for girls until he met 16-year-old singer Alexa at the Star Factory. The romance began right on the project, under the supervision of hundreds of cameras, fueling the audience’s interest in the young couple. The girl became the first to whom the artist sincerely confessed his love.

After the release of Alexa’s video “Where Are You,” where Timati appeared in the image of a romantic hero, the press began to say that in fact the romance of the young people was a PR move by the producers.

Alexa - “Where are you?”

In 2005, Alexa and Timati had a big quarrel after a long tour together and broke up for the first time. Alexa returned to her native Donetsk, where she began to communicate closely with a young man from the coal business. But soon everything returned to normal. The press said that Timati flew to Donetsk and took Alexa almost from under the aisle.

In 2006, Timati launched the reality show “Yuppies in a Pickup Truck,” in which Alexa took part. Then the lovers recorded a joint song, “When You’re Near.”

In 2007, Alexa and Timati put an end to their relationship once and for all. The young people kept silent about the reason, but Alexa’s close friends said that they simply did not get along in character - Timati loved nightlife, and the girl preferred an evening at home to any party. Her song “My Vendetta” eloquently speaks about Alexa’s feelings for her ex-boyfriend.

Over the following years, many beauties were among Timati’s passions. This includes Miss Russia 2009 Sofya Rudyeva, to whom the rapper quickly lost interest, and Mila Volchek, who, according to Timati, had an indelible influence on his way of thinking. He was seen in company with model Victoria Lopyreva, singer Fergie, actress

For the sake of their daughter’s well-being, Alena and Timati were able to maintain friendly relations. Both take part in raising Alice, and they celebrated the baby’s third birthday together.

A new contender for the rapper's heart was quickly found. She turned out to be Vice-Miss Russia 2014 Anastasia Reshetova. They dated for three years before they delighted fans with the news - in 2019 Timati will become a father again. This is Nastya's first child.

Scandals involving Timati

It is difficult to apply the epithet “scandalous” to Timati, but still his name often appears in the yellow press. One of the major scandals involving him was the conflict with Philip Kirkorov.

The reason was Timati’s indignation at the results of the 2012 Muz-TV Prize, which he shared on his Twitter. A few days later, Kirkorov answered him as follows:

After this, Timati, without mincing words, recalled Kirkorov’s past, in particular, the scandal of beating a woman and insulting a journalist, summing up his speech with the phrase “Who are you going to teach wisdom to, you scarecrow?”

Timati now

The artist continues his musical career and helps talented young performers in this matter. Perhaps a football club will soon join its own label, burger chain and fashionable clothes - in March 2017, Timati announced his intention to create his own team in order to “return interesting football to Russia.” It was reported that players born in 2000-2001 would play for the club.

Experts, having learned the amount of the initial investment - 10 million rubles - laughed at the artist. “Timati’s investments are only enough for a table football team,” said football manager Yuri Belous.

In recent days, the main topic at House 2 has been the betrayal of Liza Kutuzova, who spent the night with Bogdan Lenchuk while in a relationship with Nikita Kuznetsov. While Nikita stubbornly throws dust in his own eyes, various versions of the other side of the story appear on the Internet - the betrayal of Elina Karyakina, because it was she who did not cover up Liza Kutuzova when it was necessary.

Liza Kutuzova planned to celebrate the New Year at her father’s dacha (that’s what she calls her father’s mansion, which costs several million dollars). Among the guests at the New Year celebrations was Artem Yunusov (Lisa’s ex-boyfriend and Timati’s brother). In addition to the ex-boyfriend, a large number of friends were invited to New Year's Eve - representatives of the so-called golden youth, but Elina Karyakina was not invited to the holiday. (apparently, Elina Karjakina did not show off the price tags of her branded clothes, but she could not become one of Lisa’s in the big party). Elina Karjakina was offended and hurt to the core by this state of affairs, because she even asked Liza Kutuzova on air to invite her brother Timati to smoke a hookah outside the perimeter, to which she was refused, and then she also missed such a wonderful opportunity to meet the star’s brother.

Elina Karyakina decided to take revenge and almost openly stated that Liza Kutuzova slept with Bogdan Lenchuk. This turn of events threw Lisa Kutuzova off balance and she, having collected her things, left the clearing for home...
