Gray Santa beard and several more pounds: Potap shocked netizens with a new look. Photo

The network was shocked by the appearance of the famous rapper Oleksiy Potapenko (stage name: Potap), who lives in Spain and calls himself a true Ukrainian. He grew a beard, which, by the way, is already gray, and gained weight.

In a recent photo posted on Instagram, the 43-year-old rapper poses with his wife Nastya Kamenskykh and Dominican singer Atomic Otro Way. The controversial artist was wearing a black T-shirt, sports shorts, and a red rapper's cap that hid his bald head.

Because of his graying long beard and more rounded body shape, Ukrainians called him a grandfather and a boar. There were those who suggested that the artist had pulled in his stomach to make himself look smaller in the photo.

• "Oh my God, what happened to that uncle Potap?"
• "Who is that grandfather standing there?"
• "An old man with a woman, and their child in the center."

• "I didn't recognize Potap, he looks like a drunkard."
• "He's as fat as a wild boar."
• "And he's pulled his belly in."
• "It's obvious that he's been without Nastya for a long time. He's gotten fat and looks like his grandfather."

Some compared him to the father of Putin fan Philipp Kirkorov, "Kirkorov's father has gotten younger, great."

For comparison, back in May, the artist was perfectly shaved and had a bald head.

Outrageous comments also periodically appear under other photos of the rapper, but the artist does not respond to them. Interestingly, he maintains social media either in English or Ukrainian and publishes expert posts from time to time.

Under the last published photo, where Potap received backlash in the comments, he boasted of his and his wife's successes in Asia and talked about his concerts.

"Songs by Mozgi and Nastya Kamenskih hit the charts in Japan and China. Meanwhile, I'm joining Atomic Otro Way and NK's concert in Benidorm [Spain]! I am proud of Ukrainian music! Your Sensei," the message read.
