Loboda sang at the wedding of a goalkeeper with a Russian passport: the performance in France caused a scandal

Share: Ukrainian singer Svitlana Loboda performed at the wedding of footballer Nikita Khaikin, which took place in France. The event caused a public outcry after a video of her performance was published by Ukrainian showbiz blogger Borys Bespalov. Ukrainian singer Svitlana Loboda found herself in the center of discussions due to her participation in a private event of Russian football player Nikita Khaikin, who currently plays for the Norwegian club "Budjo-Glimt".

As blogger Boris Bespalov reported, the artist performed her famous hit "40 Degrees" during the wedding ceremony held in France. According to information shared by Bespalov, Khaikin continues to publicly identify himself as a representative of Russian football, despite having citizenships of Great Britain and Israel. He played for the youth and youth national teams of Russia in the 2010s and is proud of his Russian passport.

Bespalov also claims that Svitlana Loboda tried not to advertise her participation in the celebration — there is no information about the performance in the singer's social networks. As of now, Loboda has not officially commented on the situation. At the same time, users of social networks actively discuss the appearance of the artist at events with the participation of an athlete associated with Russian football.

We will remind you that Nikita Haikin is the goalkeeper of the Norwegian club "Budjo-Glimt" and a four-time champion of Norway. In 2025, he will undergo the procedure for obtaining Norwegian citizenship and may become a candidate for the national team of this country. As Focus reported, recently a conflict broke out at Loboda's concert in Spain.
