Morgenshtern is a hugely popular Russian rap artist who has officially become one of the biggest media figures in the country’s history. In July 2021, Spotify claimed that Morgenshtern had become the most streamed Russian musician in the service’s history.
In his recently released track called “Why?,” Alisher mentioned the Telegram Open Network Coin in one of the verses. In his song, the artist says that he has sold all his Bitcoins and bought TON instead.
I sold all my bitcoin and bought TON, yeah
The day before releasing the song, Alisher invited his subscribers to guess how he spent $10 million as a one-time payment. Only a few have assumed that the super-star from Russia spent his money on crypto. Nex day, Morgenstern made a post, telling his subscribers about Toncoin and why he chose to invest in it.
Private TON Community
To support future development of the project, Alisher has announced a private community that will only be available to users who pay 1 ton for entry. The private Telegram channel contains exclusive content from the author including a new song that will be released to the general public at midnight.
At the end of his post, Alisher shared with his subscribers that he has personally spoken with the TON team and decided to actively support Pavel Durov’s creation in the future. The artist has also said that TON is currently being managed by “the brightest minds of our homeland,” referring to Russia.
