Darya Yevgenyevna Zoteyeva (Russian: Дарья Евгеньевна Зотеева; born 11 May 2000), known professionally as Instasamka (Инстасамка), is a Russian singer and rapper, TikToker; formerly an Instagram blogger.[3]
Early life
[edit]Darya Yevgenyevna Zoteyeva was born on 11 May 2000 in Tobolsk. She was expelled from school in the ninth grade for unknown reasons.[4] Zoteyeva's academic journey continued as she graduated from school and entered a local technical school with the aim of becoming an economist. Subsequently, she pursued studies at MSUA, however she was expelled due to low attendance.[5]
She spent much of her youth in Chekhov and after the start of her creative career she moved to Moscow.[6]
Career
[edit]She is known for her provocative image, actions and content, often creating hype in the information space of the Runet. She became widely known for this for the first time in 2019, according to its results, she entered the list of the most popular girls in Russia according to Google.[7] In addition, Zoteyeva's music in the rap genre is included in the annual ratings of the publications RBK Style and The Flow for 2021,[8][9] and when Instasamka changed the vector of creative development, starting to perform music in the pop style, by the end of 2022 she became one of the main stars of this genre in Russia according to Meduza.[10]
Since 2021, complaints have been filed against her to the authorities, emphasizing that she popularizes the life style incompatible with the "traditional life values". The complaints intensified after 2023, and several Zoteyeva's concerts were canceled by the authorities. As a result, she started herself to collaborate with the authorities and to file complaints against other singers.[11]
Personal life
[edit]Since mid-2019, she has been in close relationship with Oleg Eropkin, better known under his stage name MONEYKEN, who also produces and features in a majority of her music. According to an interview with 5TV in November 2020, they had been officially married for six months.[12]
Zoteyeva was added to the Ukrainian Myrotvorets database after false information circulated online that she donated her savings to the Russian army.[13]
