The car accident of rapper Navai in the center of Moscow

The popular Russian rapper Navai (Navai Bakirov) was involved in a serious car accident on Tuesday on Zubovsky Boulevard in Moscow. The Ferrari 488 Pista he was driving, which did not have license plates, lost control, mounted the sidewalk, and crashed into a lamppost and trees. According to reports in Baza, the vehicle, whose value is estimated at about 55 million rubles, was declared a total loss.

While Mash reported that the rapper and another passenger who was with him were not injured thanks to the airbags, the artist's conduct after the accident sparked public criticism. Various channels, including Осторожно, Москва and 112, noted that Navai left the scene of the incident after changing his clothes, which increased speculation about an attempt to evade responsibility.

According to the SHOT channel, known for its intensive coverage of criminal and celebrity news, the rapper claimed he was not driving at excessive speed (about 65 km/h) and blamed "bad wheels." However, the authorities in Moscow have not remained indifferent; according to Baza, the city's Department of Transportation is working to file a lawsuit against the artist for damage to municipal infrastructure, while also considering the possibility of revoking his driver's license due to serious traffic violations and driving a vehicle without a license plate.
