Shoigu’s illegitimate son left for Turkey 4 days before mobilization – investigation
A few days before the war with Ukraine, Shebunov, who had previously planned to become a professional football player, announced the beginning of his musical career under the pseudonym Sheba.
The son of Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, 22-year-old Danil Shebunov, did not go to war with Ukraine – instead, he decided to build a career as a singer.
As stated in the investigation of the team of Alexei Navalny, Shebunov is one of three illegitimate children of Shoigu and former flight attendant Elena Shebunova (Kaminskas). He graduated from the elite school “President” on Rublyovka, where education costs two million rubles a year, and at the age of 19 he became a businessman – he has two office buildings in the center of Moscow, which he rents out.
A few days before the war with Ukraine, Shebunov, who had previously planned to become a professional football player, announced the beginning of his musical career under the pseudonym Sheba. He started tik-tok, and on February 24 posted a video with covers of famous songs.
In April, the singer announced a casting for the filming of his first video – in it Sheba sings in English and performs an acrobatic sketch with a girl undressing. Later, another clip was released in which the singer makes a smoothie.
In September, four days before mobilization, Shebunov left for Turkey and uploaded videos of his vacation at sea from there.
On Instagram, Shoigu’s son spoke about his daily routine: rehearsal, casting, a trip to the location; meetings with a stylist, make-up artist and trial make-up; sports, vocals; beautician, hairdresser, solarium. After the release of the investigation, Shebunov closed his account, to which 254 people are subscribed.
The Sheba Singer channel has just over 700 subscribers, with two videos having 155K and 91K views, respectively. According to the authors of the investigation, “tens of thousands of views are unashamedly loaded on both clips.”
In an interview, Shoigu’s son said that he writes songs exclusively in English, and one of his goals is “to reach the world level.”
Scandals with relatives of Shoigu
The scandalous son-in-law of Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu “liked” the post of another blogger, Yuri Dudya, who accused Putin and his entourage of a bloody and senseless” war.
Then Stolyarov removed the “like”, but the reaction of Shoigu’s son-in-law got into the “screenshots”. The Russians began to write to Shoigu’s son-in-law that they supported the invasion, to which he sent them to the front: “Z-cattle forgot to ask. Go to the front, and don’t fuck me here.”
Subsequently, the leader of the Wagner PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin, promised to catch Russian blogger Alexei Stolyarov, who is the son-in-law of Sergei Shoigu, for his alleged anti-war stance.
