"Chocolate Bunny" Pierre Narcisse
The singer’s biography is full of unexpected twists, for example, the artist, who became a native on the Russian stage, dreamed of becoming an athlete as a child.
Childhood and youth
The future stage figure was born in the republic of central Africa, Cameroon, on February 19, 1977. The boy was brought up in an educated family, his mother studied in France and worked as a banker by profession, and his father studied in Germany and later became a business owner. According to the singer, his parents were very versatile; they spoke an African language at home, but food and life were closer to European. The boy unquestioningly obeyed his father and older brother, who became an authority for the young singer. According to rumors, the famous pop figure's ancestors were shamans.
Singer Pierre Narcisse
Since childhood, the future participant of the “Star Factory” loved to kick the ball on the football field with the boys he knew, so he often skipped school for the sake of playing sports. Young Pierre dreamed of becoming a famous football player, but when the boy turned 13, he went to study at a music school and chose the tenor saxophone as his main instrument. According to the singer, from an early age he liked to stand out among his peers. Already at the age of 14, Narcissus, together with his comrades, came up with entertainment - the guys created a musical group and soon performed at parties in clubs.
Since childhood, Pierre willingly studied languages; the boy was able to quickly remember unfamiliar words. The love for French was especially evident; the young man went to school with in-depth study of foreign languages.
Pierre Narcisse in his youth
The sister of the future singer lived in the town of Yegoryevsk near Moscow, so Narcissus chose an unfamiliar country to continue his studies. His first impressions of Russia were not the most pleasant: the young man was not at all accustomed to the foreign mentality and persistent cold weather. After arriving in Yegoryevsk, the guy decides to leave for the country of Parmesan and croissants - France. But the future artist remained in Moscow thanks to a fortunate circumstance: in 1998, the young man participated in the casting of Nikita Mikhalkov’s historical film “The Barber of Siberia” and received a cameo role.
After fleeting success on the country's big television screens, Pierre changes his view of Russia and soon enters the most prestigious university in the country - Moscow State University, where the guy chose the creative faculty of journalism.
Pierre Narcisse in his youth
In parallel with his studies, the African works part-time in nightclubs and the Crystal Casino. Pierre also shows his artistic abilities in the KVN RUDN University team - there the guy shows that he not only successfully works on a television camera, but also knows how to make the audience laugh.
40-year-old Star Factory graduate Pierre Narcisse is accused of drunkenness and violence. This statement was made by his ex-wife.
More recently, Pierre Narcisse was at the center of a scandal when radio host Marianna Suvorova accused the “chocolate hare” of rape.
On the air of the “We Talk and Show” program, Suvorova said that she came to Pierre’s hotel to discuss creative plans.
The conversation lasted about five hours, then Pierre Narcisse allegedly raped her. “I experienced wild pain because everything happened in a completely wild way. All I saw was a crumpled sheet and blood,” said Marianna Suvorova.
Narcissus's ex-wife Valeria Kalacheva also decided to speak out. The woman admitted that Pierre drank and allowed himself to be assaulted. “He drank, every day, every night. Where he drank, that's where he fell asleep. In the toilet, in the bathroom, in the hallway, in the child’s room. He drank constantly, in response to all our pleas to stop, he first promised that he would quit, and then he drank again,” said Valeria.
While intoxicated, Narcissus became uncontrollable. “He would have exacerbations, he would light up like a flash and use his fists. My husband burst into the room, started screaming and beating me,” the singer’s ex-wife admitted.
When a little daughter stood up for a poor woman, she got it from her father too. “Carolina woke up and tried to calm him down, shouting: “Please don’t touch mom!” After which the daughter received six to eight blows with her fists, with all her might. And I don’t know why he needs it, but he consumes Viagra along with alcohol,” the Life.ru website quotes Kalacheva.
Soon Valeria Kalacheva divorced the singer. At the moment, the ex-wife is planning to deprive Narcissus of parental rights and is asking for help from representatives of the guardianship authorities, law enforcement officers and lawyers.
“I lived in fear, as did my child. We were literally hermits in the house behind closed doors,” said Pierre’s ex-wife.
According to Pierre's ex-wife, he is completely different in public. “This man is alone in public - he is the life of the party, very charming, but in private... You can’t imagine what a despot, tyrant and rapist he is,” Valeria tore off the mask from the performer.
Pierre Narcisse is a Russian singer of Cameroonian origin. Born in Cameroon, Moudio Narcisse played football as a child. At the age of 13 he began learning to play the tenor saxophone.
In the early 1990s he created the first group that performed songs in clubs. The songs performed were in both French and the local languages of Cameroon.
He came to Russia, where his sister lived in Yegoryevsk near Moscow. At the same time, he passed the casting and took part in the filming of the film “The Barber of Siberia.”
An episodic role (in the credits he is listed as Mundi Narcis) - accompanying the Abyssinian prince - becomes his first public work.
Pierre enters the Faculty of Journalism at Moscow State University. At the same time, he works in casinos and nightclubs. Since the late 90s he played in the KVN RUDN team.
He took part in “Star Factory 2”, where his signature song was “Chocolate Bunny”.
At the end of 2004, the artist’s first album, called “Chocolate Bunny,” appeared.
Music
Pierre's love for music manifested itself in his youth, when he tirelessly played the saxophone while studying at school. Narcissus’s first journalistic activity was also closely related to his musical activities: a dark-skinned guy begins his career after an invitation to the RDV radio station (he hosted the Dance boom program), and the guy also hosted the Hit FM columns.
But a real musical career began to accompany the guy after participating in the famous Russian show “Star Factory”
"Star Factory-2"
Thanks to his acquaintance with Jem (who participated in the first episode of the program), Pierre Narcissus showed interest in “Star Factory 2” in 2003 and came to the casting of the program. At the audition, a tall dark-skinned guy performs rap and also songs in French. But the jury was more surprised by a song from the repertoire of Vladimir Vysotsky, prepared by Pierre.
The whole country watched the development of the young African artist under the strict guidance of producer Max Fadeev, and Narcissus’ debut videos “Chocolate Bunny” and “Kiss-Kiss” became popular hits that were broadcast on almost all music channels. Later, the name “Chocolate Bunny” became a household name for Pierre Narcisse; under this nickname, the dark-skinned singer became known to a wide audience.
Already in 2004, Pierre Narcisse’s solo album “Chocolate Bunny” was released, which consists of 12 songs by the singer. The debut disc includes the following works: “Hakuna Matata”, “Grape Juice”, “Check-Outs”, “Mamba”, etc. In 2006, a graduate of the show was awarded the title of “Honored Artist of Ingushetia”
Personal life
Despite his busy work schedule, Pierre Narcisse is not against his favorite pastime, football. The artist appears at social gatherings and events, and repeatedly participates in talk shows, as evidenced by photographs and videos on his Instagram page. For example, the artist performed on the “King of the Ring” program on Channel One and was seen in “Let Them Talk.”
Pierre Narcisse and his family
Pierre Narcisse is married to model Valeria Kalacheva; in 2005, the couple had a daughter, Caroline-Christelle, smart beyond her years. The girl learns foreign languages and enjoys sports; her favorite is tennis. In one interview, Narcissus claimed that he was trying to instill in his daughter a love of creativity.
The main “chocolate bunny” of the country gave the impression of a pleasant and educated person.
In the spring of 2020, a rumor spread on the Internet that in fact, not everything was so smooth in the singer’s seemingly harmonious family. According to the latest news, Pierre's wife intends to file for divorce, as the girl stated in numerous interviews, the reason for the breakup is aggressive behavior and assault.
Pierre Narcisse in 2017
The famous singer was also accused of beating and raping radio host Marianna Suvorova, with whom the singer had a fleeting affair. According to the girl, the abuse occurred in one of the motel rooms.
On the “Live Broadcast” program, the presenter spoke about the night of November 8, but the testimony of the singer and Marianna differed. According to Pierre, the relationship between Suvorova and Narcissus occurred by mutual consent, but the girl’s side is sure of something else.
In 2020, the case is just beginning to gain momentum, so it is not yet known who is right and wrong.
Pierre Narcisse's wife: He always found ways to get me back
Sobesednik.ru found out what was happening in the family of Pierre Narcisse and why life with the “chocolate bunny” was not sweet.
On March 22, a scandalous accusation of rape was aired on the talk show “We Talk and Show” on the NTV channel. Radio presenter Marianna Suvorova claims that the famous singer Pierre Narcisse abused her in a harsh manner, after which the woman still cannot come to her senses. The official wife and mother of the artist’s only daughter Valery Kalachev was also present at the program. The girl does not believe the accusations of her husband’s mistress, but is in no hurry to defend Narcissus. A year and a half ago, Valeria decided to get a divorce.
A native of Cameroon, Pierre Narcisse fell in love with the audience as a participant in the television project “Star Factory-2”. A perky guy with an exotic appearance evoked positive emotions among the public, and his song “Chocolate Bunny” became a hit and the artist’s calling card. The aspiring singer was not deprived of female attention, and he himself was not averse to communicating with the opposite sex. So, almost immediately after the end of the popular project on Channel One, Pierre met 18-year-old Valeria. The young people began to live together. In 2005, while not yet officially married, Valeria gave her beloved daughter Caroline-Christel, who is now 11 years old. In 2009, the couple decided to go to the registry office.

The story, which was beautiful on the outside, turned out to be sad in reality. The media often wrote that Pierre beats his wife. The public was perplexed, because no one would have thought that such a positive character could be a domestic tyrant. Over time, the rumors subsided, but then reappeared. So, just the other day the press again attacked the artist with accusations. In a talk show on the NTV channel, Narcissa’s mistress described in detail how she was subjected to terrible violence.
“I couldn’t even imagine that this could happen,” the deceived wife admits bitterly. “Only now I understand that no one should have any illusions about men, they change everything.” In fact, we have not lived together for a long time; I have been avoiding communication with him for more than a year and a half, but this is difficult, given our common daughter. He often comes, stands under the door, practically spends the night on the rug. I don’t give him anything as a wife, so he takes it from someone else. And regarding the situation on the well-known program - I think this woman turned the situation around in order to promote herself. She started shaking her dirty laundry in front of the whole country. I am sure that all the SMS messages she presented are not real, he writes differently, illiterately. They had sex, but it was hardly rape. When they want to punish a person, they go to the police, not to the TV channel. I was actually dragged to this program as a music expert, because I recorded two songs, and I’m also preparing to record an album as the singer Monisha. I had no idea what kind of mess I would get into.
– What is the reason for your breakup? Can't stand cheating anymore?
– It’s not even about betrayal. The person does not work on himself in any way. I'm tired of fighting his aggression, often even out of the blue. Everything has accumulated together. Even with his daughter he became aggressive, although he had always been a good father. Because of a loss in a tennis tournament, he can make such an argument that the windows shake, and swear at me and the child. When I tried to stand up for my daughter, I received good results. The other day, Caroline couldn’t stand it and expressed her painful feelings to her father in a message.

– If everything is so bad, then why did you only recently come to your senses and decide to leave your husband?
“After every quarrel that ended in assault, he tearfully asked for forgiveness. He gave me gifts and helped my family. It even got to the point where he took me to church and, in front of the icons in the Elokhovskaya church, begged for forgiveness and promised that this would not happen again. We even went to the relics of St. Matronushka. I thought that no adequate person would lie in front of icons, but my husband’s promises were not destined to come true. Pierre always found ways to get me back, there is something about him - he even managed to win my parents over to his side. I have repeatedly withdrawn my statements from the police, but I still keep the doctor’s certificates.
– What do you think causes such aggression?
– There’s a disorder in the nervous system or I’m simply too overzealous already. I suggested seeing a doctor and finally stopping drinking. He drinks constantly, uncontrollably. Pierre has problems with blood pressure and heart - drinking is strictly contraindicated for him, but this does not stop him from just opening a bottle of vodka while watching TV.
