Biography of Timati
Birth
Timur Ildarovich Yunusov was born on August 15, 1983 in Moscow.
Parents
Father Ildar Vakhitovich Yunusov (born 1960) is a businessman; mother Simona Yakovlevna Yunusova (born 1959), nee Chervomorskaya.
The performer himself has repeatedly stated that he owes his character and successful career solely to his father, who taught him that he must achieve everything on his own.
My father, by the way, is a polyglot and is fluent in six languages.
Religion
The artist's father is Muslim, and his mother is Jewish. As Timati himself stated in an interview, he was instilled with both religions, but he himself believes that God is one.
Interest in music
While still a child, he showed considerable interest in creativity, which is why his mother decided to take him to a music club. For four years he studied to play the violin, although he did not really like it. It is likely that this experience influenced his future musical career.
I was a bully as a child
Together with his younger brother, he set fire to paper airplanes and launched them from the second tier of the bed, and also threw water balloons from the window of his parents’ apartment at passers-by.
Didn't finish studying at HSE
After graduating from school, Timati began studying at the Moscow Higher School of Economics, but without studying and abandoned his studies at the university for six months, since it did not fit well with his club lifestyle: he participated in noisy parties in many metropolitan nightclubs with friends.
Timati real name and surname
Timati (or as he is also called Black Star) has never hidden his real name and surname. But he wanted to be known not as the son of a rich businessman, but as a person who sets goals and achieves everything himself. Timur Yunusov - this is the name he received at birth. There is a lot of speculation regarding his nationality. But who cares? The main thing is that the artist does his job with soul and brings joy to his fans.
Timati's career
New hobbies
Interest in rap and hip-hop appeared at the age of thirteen, after visiting the USA. Around the same time, Timur got his first tattoo in the form of a fiery dragon. During the same period, he acquired his creative pseudonym - Timati.
Started his career with Decl
In his youth, he practiced breakdancing with Decl, whom he helped write a solo album and participated in the recording as a backing vocalist, as well as one of the participants in the video “Party at Decl’s House.”
Soon the performers' careers diverged and they stopped communicating. Officially, no one ever recognized the reason, but from an interview with Decl himself, it becomes clear that Timati was more focused on making money, and this required changing the format of creativity.
VIP77 and "Gang"
In 1998, he became the founder of the group VIP77, in which his friends became members.
Six years later, there were disagreements in VIP77 and it broke up, but soon it was relaunched with an updated composition.
Timati, Ratmir Shishkov, Dominic and Anastasia Kochetkova passed the casting to participate in the Star Factory. Under the direction of an experienced producer, they formed their own group “Banda” and studied with the most experienced specialists in the country, recording their own songs and gaining more and more popularity.
The group did not reach the finals of the reality show, but they were able to gain popularity and recorded their own album and also released a video.
First tour in Russia
He spent his first tour of Russia with the finalists of “Factory”; they lasted three months. At the end of the tour, the performer opened his own club “B-club”.
The death of Shishkov and the collapse of the "Gang"
In 2007, Ratmir Shishkov and his friends got into a fatal accident, deciding to drive through a prohibitory traffic light. Their car crashed into another car, causing the gasoline in the tank to explode, killing all the passengers in Ratmir's car. This tragic event led to the disbandment of the Banda group.
The beginning of a solo career
The rapper's first solo album, called "Black Star", was released a year before the collapse of the "Gang". It contained seventeen compositions, including joint tracks with famous Russian pop stars.
The cover copied the cover of one of 2PAC's albums. This, as well as the obvious plagiarism of Western colleagues, caused discontent among professional critics and a lot of accusations of plagiarism.
Among the most notable tracks on this album are “Dance”, “In the Club” and “Don't Go Crazy”.
Actively engaged in business
In parallel with music, Timati was actively developing as a businessman. In 2006, he became the founder of his own label, Black Star Inc, which released many aspiring talented musicians onto the domestic stage: DJ Dlee, Dzhigan, Kristina Si, Egor Creed, L'One, Mot, Natan, Nazima, Scrooge and many others.

Timati's personal life
Alexa
Timati has repeatedly said that before he met sixteen-year-old Alexa, he had never felt such serious feelings for anyone.
The romance developed on the Star Factory project, which increased the general public’s interest in the couple and the show as a whole, and also raised doubts about the truth of the couple’s feelings.
After a strong quarrel, the couple broke up, and the girl went home to Donetsk, where she began a new relationship, but soon returned to Timati. In 2007, the couple separated again, keeping silent about the reasons. However, according to close friends, the couple simply had different personalities: the girl preferred family home evenings, and the rapper liked to spend time in nightclubs.
Together they managed to record a joint song “When you are near”, Timati also starred in her video for the song “Where are you”.
After Alexa
Subsequently, Timati was noticed with many beauties, including: Sofia Rudyeva, Mila Volchek and some other famous girls.
Alena Shishkova
He met with Alena Shishkova, with whom he has a daughter, Alisa.
There were many happy family photos on social networks, however, the fairy tale ended when Alena decided to leave the rapper. According to the media, the reason for this was the model’s affair with goalkeeper Anton Shunin.
For the sake of the child, the couple maintains a warm friendship and even celebrates their daughter’s birthdays together.
Anastasia Reshetova
Since 2020, Timati has been dating Anastasia Reshetova, who holds the title of Vice-Miss Russia 2014.
At the end of last year, the first information appeared in the media that Anastasia might be pregnant. And all because a joint photo of them and Timati appeared on Instagram, both holding their hands on the girl’s stomach. An unambiguous hint soon grew into official information - the girl was pregnant and in the summer of 2020 she was already 7 months pregnant and knew the gender of the unborn child.
Timati's second child is due to be born in early autumn 2019.
Alena Shishkova
Model Alena Shishkova was a participant in the Miss Russia 2012 beauty contest. She failed to take first place then, but she was noticed by rapper Timati. She attracted him with her modesty, mystery and inaccessibility. The young people met personally on the set where Alena worked as a model. Looking at the photo of Timati’s first wife Alena Shishkova, there is no question about how she won the rapper’s heart.
Alena Shishkova
After the first meeting, the couple did not see each other for a long time, since Alena was actively filming in different countries of the world. But as soon as she and Timati met again, they began a beautiful and stormy romance. A few months later, Alena became pregnant and in 2014 gave birth to the rapper’s daughter, Alisa. During this time, photos of Timati’s common-law wife did not appear anywhere; she spent her entire pregnancy in the Dominican Republic, together with the musician’s mother. The happiness of the young did not last long. In 2020, Alena returned to Russia and announced her separation from the rapper.
Other facts
Conflict with Decl
Decl and Timati diverged their paths in their youth, one became a commercially successful performer, the other remained committed to his ideals. Of course, Decl was not in poverty, but at a certain point his career began to decline.
Timati rarely spoke about his former friend, but he, in turn, allowed himself overly frank interviews, for example, in one of them he stated: “He made peace with Philip Kirkorov because Kirkorov had an anniversary concert in the Kremlin. Timan really wants to go to the Kremlin.”
After Decl’s death, his father Alexander Tolmatsky admitted that there was no serious conflict between the performers, they simply followed different creative paths: one went into the rap underground, the second built an empire called Black Star.
After the death of Decl, Timati and Slame released the track “My Tears. In memory of Decl." This is a cover of Decl’s song, of which only one verse remains, but in the changed part Timati asks Decl for forgiveness. For what? Known only to a narrow circle of people.
By the way, Decl appeared on the “Songs” show in the form of a hologram.
Declared unfit for military service
Timur received a category of unfitness for military service in the armed forces due to the fact that at that time in the Russian Federation there was a law according to which a conscript who covered half of his body with tattoos became the owner of a certificate from a psychiatrist with a diagnosis of “mental imbalance.”
Timur himself states that all his tattoos have a special meaning, known only to himself.
Tattoos
Even in his youth, Timati began to put tattoos on his body, gradually there are more and more of them, because the artist loves to make a new drawing for every significant event in his life.
Timati does not reveal the true meaning of each tattoo, but you can already see on his body: a huge skull with a crown and microphones on the back, there are also large inscriptions “Moscow city”, “No Friends” and “No Loyalty”.
On the chest there is a huge composition with clowns, sad and happy, as well as the inscription “Save and Preserve”.
On the neck there is a name in English - Timati in a halo of wings and lines, the number “13” and a portrait of a girl.
The inscription “Black Star” is printed on the backs of the hands. You can also see a green lion and a red dragon on the hands. The hip-hop artist has stars on both elbows, and a portrait of Martin Luther King on his right hand. On the phalanges of the fingers there is the inscription “Good Luck”, and on the left hand there is a composition of playing cards, ribbons and the inscription Hip-Hop Music.
On the stomach there is a composition of playing cards, the inscription “Ladis Love”, and two skulls.
Of course, not all of Timati’s tattoos are described here.
Facts about Black Star Burger
In the fall of 2020, Timati decided to open his own eatery in the capital, which he called “Black Star Burger.”
At Kadyrov’s personal request, he opened a second one in Grozny.
By the way, the singer himself is so confident in the quality of his food products that he even feeds it to his three-year-old daughter. True, not all subscribers were touched by this act; many believe that feeding a child such food is not worth it.
Chips and Pepsi from Timati
In 2020, two products appeared on sale, with the faces of Timati and Yegor Creed. And if Lay's chips with BURGER BBQ flavor can somehow be attributed to the BLACK STAR label, then Pepsi with vanilla flavor are sold both with the faces of Timati and Creed, and without them. The taste, of course, does not differ.
Clothing collection in collaboration with the Russian Army
Another example of using a popular brand is the release of a clothing collection together with the Russian Army in the spring of 2020. According to Timati himself, his team and the Russian Army worked on the collection for six months, and now the clothes can be bought in Voentorg and Black Star Wear stores.
But the scandal broke out a little later, when netizens began to find clothes from Timati on the pages of the popular Chinese online store Aliexpress. Naturally, the clothes there were several times cheaper than in the blackstarwear branded online store.
Previously, a similar incident had already occurred with branded headphones from Timati, which in fact turned out to be Chinese, but with the BlackStar logo. The difference in price was threefold.
Scandalous track
For the cover of the track “Bitch Love”, he became the object of massive criticism from many participants in the hip-hop movement. It is known about his beefs with Vlad Valov and Bad Balance. Many other rap artists also wrote diss songs about him.
Friends with the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov
Ramzan Kadyrov has been friends with Timati for a long time; their joint photos and videos can easily be found on their pages on social networks.
But sometimes the friendship of a politician and a show business star results in unpleasant stories, for example, it was Timati who accidentally showed the whole of Russia what Kadyrov’s plane looks like inside.
Friends with Grigory Leps
The difference in age and performance style does not prevent Timati from treating Grigory Leps well; the singer has repeatedly stated that he would be glad to further cooperate with him.
Collaborates with famous Russian and foreign performers
He collaborated with many other performers: Decl, Dzhigan, Grigory Leps, Snoop Dogg, Yegor Creed, Philip Kirkorov, several songs were recorded in collaboration with Vera Brezhneva and many others.
Conflict with Philip Kirkorov
The conflict with Kirkorov began in 2012 after the MUZ-TV award. Then Philip received three statuettes at once, the rapper spoke out about the bias of the music channel and received a response on Twitter from Kirkorov.
After this, Timati immediately switched to insults and even released the video “Let’s see you bye.”
The musicians have been exchanging unflattering remarks for years. Over time, the grievances faded into the background, and they made peace thanks to Grigory Leps, and then began to cooperate. Initially, they starred together in an advertisement for a rapper’s burger joint, and then recorded the song “Last Spring,” for which a video was even filmed.
Timati himself commented on this by saying that if he had been told about such an outcome of the conflict a few years ago, he would have laughed.
Mood color black
The collaboration between Kirkorov and the Black Star label continued with the participation of Yegor Creed. Their video has already received more than 100 million views on Youtube, and Timati played a small role of himself in it.
Charity
A busy schedule does not prevent Timati from visiting orphanages and development centers, as well as being a member of the UNESCO Foundation.
Football club
In March 2020, he announced his intention to create a new football club and football agency in the capital. His representative also noted that Timati’s company plans not just to generate income, but to develop professional football in the country.
Instagram and other social networks
Timati has accounts on all major social networks popular in Russia: Instagram, Twitter and VKontakte. He is most popular on Instagram, where the artist has more than 14 million subscribers.
Scandalous video of Timati and Sobchak
In the spring of 2020, a video appeared online showing Ksenia Sobchak and Timati in a rather intimate setting. Unambiguous hints and actions make it clear that the stars had a very close relationship. Why were they?
The video was recorded in 2007, just at that time the couple communicated closely, and Ksenia even appeared in one of the rapper’s videos. It is quite possible that at that time this video was specially filmed for further PR, but in the end it appeared online only now and at quite the wrong time - on the eve of the birth of Timati’s second child.
Teeth
At the beginning of his career, the rapper did not have a perfect smile, but as his popularity grew, he decided to completely transform all his teeth, and also whiten them. Many of Timati’s fans expressed their bewilderment as to why he made his teeth so white, since they don’t fit his image at all.
Soon, fans were shocked again when the rapper gave himself completely gold teeth. He began to look 10 years older, which was immediately reported to him on Instagram. After this, the famous performer kept only his lower teeth with gold crowns, but returned his upper teeth to their former whiteness.
Timati and Oksimiron
The scandal between the two performers occurred in the fall of 2020. Then both rappers had a concert planned at the Olimpiyskiy, a couple of days apart. As soon as information appeared online that they were looking for volunteers for Timati’s concert with a salary of 900 rubles, Oxxxymiron immediately wrote a sarcastic message on Instagram about the fake crowd at Timati’s concerts.
Perhaps this was a PR attempt from Oksimiron, but Timati did not succumb to the provocation, answering on the same Instagram in the most correct form. This, by the way, was also noted by Kirkorov, to whose address a whole video “Come on, goodbye!” had previously been sent.
Scandal with Khabib Nurmagomedov
The scandal occurred on the eve of Yegor Creed's arrival in Chechnya. His concert was canceled due to threats to himself and the organizers of the event. Then on Instagram, Khabib Nurmagomedov wrote: “Not a great loss.”
Timati stood up for the performer; he published a video in which he tried to reach all those who were against the concert. In response, Khabib published a post in which he called his opponents “devils” and “roosters.” Then Timati himself could no longer stand it.
After some time, the fighter and the rapper were reconciled by their mutual acquaintance Ramzan Kadyrov. He first published a post calling for peace between them, and then held conversations with each of them. As a result, the scandal did not develop further.
Scandal with Christina Si
Before her contract with Black Star, rapper Christina Sy had already recorded some good songs, but she gained particular popularity under the wing of Timati and his team. Of course, the first girl in the team of black stars. It’s just that the girl’s quarrelsome nature did not allow her to work calmly, she quarreled with many people, was always dissatisfied with something, and as a result, her career was put on pause - no new songs or albums, no promotion. Even her portrait was taken in the label's office. All the girl did was tour.
But the tour often resembled Russian roulette; Christina constantly kept the organizers in suspense. And in Kazakhstan, she stopped the phonogram altogether, because she didn’t like that the audience didn’t react to her the way she would like.
As a result, in 2020, her contract was not renewed, and all her clips were removed from the video channel.
Soon the girl had difficulties using her creative pseudonym - Christina Si. Black Star registered it in his name and forbade the rapper from using it. She tried to record songs under other pseudonyms, but the result did not suit her and Christina decided to sue for her old pseudonym.
According to her, her contract with the label prohibits her pseudonym from being used against her. How the trial will end will soon become clear.
Scandal with Yegor Creed
As in the case of Christina Si, it was Timati’s label that first noticed Egor’s talent and invited him under his wing. They collaborated for seven years from 2012 to 2020, during which time Creed became a super popular performer, and the label made a ton of money from him.
In the spring of 2020, information appeared that Creed wanted to leave Timati and pursue his own career. The rumors were immediately confirmed by Black Star CEO Pavel Kuryanov, adding that the pseudonym Yegor Creed belonged to their label, and the artist could perform under any other name, for example, Yegor Bulatkin (the artist’s real name). Creed's fans were shocked, but Timati soon commented on the situation, saying that the artist and the label had signed an agreement to terminate cooperation, according to which Creed would remain with his pseudonym.
There were rumors that billionaire Boris Rotenberg helped the artist buy out his own name. But Timati denied this information. Apparently, the money for the ransom was taken from other sources.
Filming in advertising
Timati’s popularity is used in advertising not only by Lay’s and Pepsi; the rapper has previously advertised the throat treatment Tantum Verde, a bookmaker, the Pyaterochka chain of stores, and the manufacturer of household appliances BORK.
Forbes Income and Recognition
In 2020, Forbes ranked Timati in 4th place in terms of earnings among all Russian celebrities and athletes. His annual earnings were $6.6 million. That same year, for example, Alexander Ovechkin earned $14 million.
At the end of 2020, he dropped to 17th place, with annual income of $4.5 million.
Parody of Timati in “The Best Movie 2”
In 2009, “The Best Film 2” was released, in which one of the characters is a parody of Timati.

Timati's participation in "Star Factory 4"
In 2004, Timati passed the casting to participate in the “Star Factory”. Together with him, two of his friends took part in the project: Dominic Joker and Ratmir Shishkov. While participating in the television program, the guys learned vocals, dances, took master classes from famous performers and, of course, became popular. Their first songs were recorded at the show.
Timati at Star Factory-4
At the Star Factory, Timati, Dominic and Ratmir created a new group, Banda. Also participating in this project was another “manufacturer” – Anastasia Kochetkova. However, none of them took a prize at the end of the competition. Despite this, the organizers helped the guys record their first album and gave them the opportunity to shoot a video for the song “Heaven is Crying.”
After the completion of the “Star Factory”, its participants went on a tour of Russia. This was Timati's first tour as part of the "Gang".
