23-year-old rapper Macan traded Spanish beaches for an army barracks 0 35

23-year-old rapper Macan (real name — Andrey Kosolapov) has begun his service in the Russian army. His conscription was widely discussed in the press, and it is now known that the musician has already arrived at the enlistment office — secretly, without cameras or fans who hoped to see their idol even for a minute.

Despite the fact that dozens of people — from conscripts to random passersby — gathered at the Moscow assembly point in the morning, no one was able to see the artist. As reported by the Telegram channel Shot, according to one of the attendees, Macan entered the building not through the main entrance, but through a side door to avoid unnecessary attention and to pass the commission quietly.

Andrey Kosolapov is being sent to serve in the special purpose center "Vityaz" — one of the most famous and elite units of the National Guard of Russia. This is where conscripts who can withstand serious loads and are ready for a tough regime end up.

A guy who underwent the commission at the same time as the artist reported that the rapper arrived with two companions. He behaved calmly and respectfully: greeted everyone, did not conflict, and looked quite composed. According to eyewitnesses, there was no special treatment for the artist — in the corridors of the enlistment office, he was just another conscript like the others. At the same time, Macan did not appear frightened or overly inspired by what was happening. Rather, he accepted the situation as an inevitable part of life.

Andrey's service is not a surprise. For the past two years, scandals surrounding the artist have been brewing due to his refusal to appear at the enlistment office. The musician could not quietly ignore the summons, as representatives of the enlistment office from the Ramensky district repeatedly came to his registered address, but each time they were met with a closed door. As a result, the rapper was listed in the databases as a draft dodger. A criminal case could have been initiated at any moment under Article 328 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which provides for up to two years of imprisonment.

While enlistment office employees were trying to locate the musician, he, judging by social media, was vacationing in Spain: beaches, seafood, beautiful views, and photos with a girl. New pictures appeared almost daily. This irritated fans, who accused the artist of irresponsibility. However, in the fall, the star put an end to the disputes and announced that he had received a summons and was ready to go serve.
