Denis Ustimenko-weinstein

Dzhigan (real name - Denis Aleksandrovich Ustimenko-Weinstein) is a popular hip-hop performer, father of many children and just a person who is confident that there is no limit to perfection, and according to his wife, he is also a romantic.

Rapper Dzhigan was born in August 1985 in Odessa in the family of a sailor under the zodiac sign Leo. Despite his mother's Jewish surname, he considers himself a purebred Ukrainian by nationality. Since his father often traveled abroad, he brought CDs with music to his son as gifts. The boy listened to them with rapture, singing along with the idols.

As a child, Denis accidentally recorded his voice. He liked the result, and he began to regularly record his own performance to music. From that time on, the boy dreamed of singing and composing songs, but for a long time he could not decide on the genre - he rushed between rock and rap.

Denis wrote his first song in the 9th grade, and the presentation of the track took place in the assembly hall in front of the school graduates. Soon such a scene was not enough for him, and he decided to hold hip-hop events. The idea to try himself as a DJ came because Djigan had an impressive audio collection, which contained about 500 audiocassettes and 2000 discs. Soon the parties organized by him became popular, and the famous MCs began to show a burning interest in him.

Here Denis needed the stage name Djigan, or GeeGun. He shaved his head to better match the classic rapper's image. Since then, the musician no longer grows his hair.

Dzhigan's personal life was happy.

The musician's wife is the founder of the MiraSezar brand and model Oksana Samoilova, the owner of a successful business, behind whom she has participated in several advertising campaigns for popular brands and worked in Europe. The couple met at a nightclub, and a week later they left to rest on the islands together. This time was enough for the rapper to understand that Oksana is the woman of his dreams and to plan a wedding.

The rapper prefers to remain silent about what happened before the creation of the family, but the fans actively discussed his relationship with the former participant of "House-2" Erika Kisheva and the model Nina Lipkina.

The couple are growing up daughters Ariela, Leia and Maya. Djigan himself is an only child, and in the yard, looking at those who walked and played with brothers and sisters, he felt loneliness acutely. Then he decided that in the future his own children would not be bored. On the third child, the singer said, they will not stop.

And he kept his promise: on February 18, 2020, Oksana Samoilova gave birth to a son to the artist. The boy received the sonorous name David. The photos of the spouses with the fourth child delighted the fans. The slender figure and fresh look of the young mother were especially actively discussed, which gave rise to suspect Oksana of using plastics.

Parents circumcised their 10-day-old son, which also became the subject of lively discussions on social media. The audience associated this with the singer's religion and Jewish roots, but he himself did not comment on this.

The artist's family gives the impression of being ideal: they are touching spouses and caring parents, but Oksana on Instagram honestly admits that living with Dzhigan is not easy. At the very beginning of family life, he set her a tough condition - to spend all her free time with him, communicate with her friends as little as possible and do nothing, do nothing that would make him think that Oksana was cheating on him.

The subscribers were outraged by the demands, but Oksana admits that over time she got used to it and she herself does not see anything wrong with devoting herself only to her relatives. Jealousy and possessiveness of Dzhigan is confirmed by his ex-girlfriends.

The composition "Time to Lose Weight" is an illustration of Dzhigan's sports life. With a short height of 173 cm for a man, the singer gained excess weight at one time.

So the singer lost 25 kg in 5 months. In the photo on Instagram, Djigan demonstrates a pile of muscles. Almost the entire body is decorated with tattoos, among which there are Jewish motives.

The musician has a passion for football, freestyle wrestling, rugby. The singer founded the Martial Arts Sports School, which is not a commercial project, but a manifestation of the star's desire to contribute to the development of the physical culture of young people.

In 2005, Djigan invited DJ DLEE, who was the official DJ of rapper Timati, to perform at his party. Colleagues met at various festivals and other events in the Russian rap industry. The result of the artists' communication was a joint song: Bogdan Titomir, Timati and Dzhigan released the track "Dirty Sluts", which gained great popularity among users.

In 2007, at the invitation of the CEO of Black Star Inc. Pavel Kuryanov Dzhigan moved from Odessa to Moscow and became an artist of the label. As part of the company, his first job was the song "Odnoklassnitsa", which he performed with Timati. Great success did not have to wait long: in 2009, Dzhigan and Anna Sedokova presented music lovers with the hit "Cold Heart". The track becomes a sales leader overnight.

2011 was especially rich in pleasant events and victories for Dzhigan. The song "Let Go", recorded together with the singer Yulia Savicheva, became the leader in terms of the number of downloads on the day of the presentation, overtaking the releases of both Russian and foreign artists. The track turned out to be an absolute hit and for a long time topped the charts of "HIT FM", DFM and "Russian Radio". The video for this composition got into the "hot rotation" of the leading TV channels, and the song itself brought the duo the prestigious "Song of the Year" and "Golden Gramophone" awards.

In September 2011, the premiere of the track "You Are Near" by Djigan and Zhanna Friske took place, which strengthened the rapper's reputation. The presentation of the video took place at a joint autograph session of the artists in Moscow, over a thousand people came to the meeting.

The beginning of 2012 was marked by the joint work of Djigan, singer Vika Krutoy and the Disco Crash group, the company recorded the track and video Carnival. The song was a resounding success.

Dzhigan's first solo work was the song "We Are No More", a video for which appeared in April 2012. All of these compositions were included in the debut album "Cold Heart", on which the performer worked for 3 years.

Djigan's creative biography took a sharp turn in December 2013: the performer announced his departure from Black Star Inc. and the decision to go on an independent voyage. The singer provided the proof already in February 2014: the premiere of his video clip “We must pump up” for a new song took place. The single turned into a kind of hymn to a healthy lifestyle; the best athletes of European and Russian bodybuilding appeared in the video.

In addition to Dzhigan, Yegor Creed and Christina Si also left the label and its founder Timati. Their departure was accompanied by a scandal, but now the artists unanimously declare that they do not hold a grudge against the former boss.

After starting a career outside Black Star Inc. the rapper's fans received another present - the song "Take care of love", performed in the genres of rhythm and blues and soul. Djigan sang it along with Loya. This composition was included in the new album “Music. A life".

Long gone are the days when Dzhigan was considered only as Timati's creature. Now the rapper himself is helping novice musicians rise to the heights of fame. Of course, the singer does not forget about himself, he releases new singles with enviable regularity.

In the spring of 2015, Dzhigan presented his third album, entitled "Your Choice", which includes the songs "There is nothing more to love" and "Time to lose weight" that have already become hits. On the set of the video for the composition about losing weight, the artist, who has an athletic physique, played the well-fed leader of a gangster group.

This year has been generous with awards. At the Muz-TV award in Astana, which took place in early summer, Dzhigan was recognized as the best hip-hop performer of the year. And at the end of the year, at the Golden Gramophone award of the Russian Radio, the rapper was awarded the main prize and a diploma for the hit “Me and You”. In the video of the same name, at the request of the fans, the singer involved his wife and then only two daughters, based on footage of a family vacation in Spain.

In October 2015, Dzhigan presented a composition called "Rain", which was recorded together with the famous singer Maxim. A clip came out next. The plot is based on the story of a guy and a girl whose feelings fade away, and the couple is close to breaking up.

Djigan did not leave his huge army of fans without pleasant gifts in 2016. Together with Stas Mikhailov he recorded a duet track and a video for the song "Love-Narcosis". The composition instantly took the leading positions in many charts. The video was directed by clipmaker Rustam Romanov, whose portfolio includes videos for L'One, Mota, Timati, Alexander Rybak, and the IOWA group.

The song was not included in the subsequent album "Jiga". Instead, the disc contains collaborations with Basta (Until the Last Breath), Misha Krupin (Earth), Elvira T (Bad), Jah Khalib (Melody). Clips were shot on the tracks "Bentley", "Ready for anything". To take part in the filming of the video for the last one, the performer Basil had to interrupt the celebration of his own birthday and go to Bali.

In the video for "Melody" the role of the main character was played by the winner of the show "Dancing" Maxim Nesterovich, in "Must Shine" Dzhigan's wife Oksana Samoilova and colleagues Smokey Mo and Legalize appeared. Together with Sasha Zhemchugova, the ward of Maxim Fadeev, the rapper recorded the song "Doletai", which was included in the debut album of the aspiring singer.

The presentation of the fifth studio album, Days and Nights, took place in June 2017. The track list includes a duet with Ani Lorak "Hug" and a song dedicated to daughters. The author remained true to himself, successfully combining rap with dance motives.

The song "Catch Me", which was not included in the album, was released in October as a separate single. The director of the video "Days and Nights" Danila Volkov shot a video where Djigan himself is absent. Instead of a performer, a man walks the streets of the city with a kind of TV on his head, broadcasting the image of a rapper.

After the release of the hit "I'll Drown in Your Eyes", the artist was accused of plagiarism: the composition turned out to be suspiciously similar to the song "The Ice is Melting" by the Ukrainian collective "Mushrooms". In response, Djigan explained that it was just a coincidence, and in general his song came out earlier than the "original".

The song and video "We are Young" is a gift from the performer to himself for his birthday. In the musical component, dance motives are still traced, and the video sequence demonstrates elements of luxury. On Instagram, Djigan wished the audience to “get high, dance and enjoy life”.

The artist again became the director of the video, and was helped by the clipmaker Denis Symonenko, who is known in the professional environment as Danny Kekspro. The creative tandem has already worked on the video "Everything will be fine", as well as on the video for the composition "DNA", which Dzhigan performed with Artem Kacher. "DNA", by the way, has been assigned an age limit of 18+ due to profanity. Nevertheless, the Apple Music service included the song in the top ten most streamed in 2018.

Before the 3rd "Higher League" award ceremony, Dzhigan, together with Vadim Galygin, tried themselves as street barkers, inviting guests to the shooting. For the New Year 2019, Dzhigan presented the fans with a gift in the form of a duet with Grigory Leps. The rapper himself took on the production of the song "The Morning". This was followed by performances by the artist in three cities on the Big Love Show, organized by "Love Radio".

In May 2019, Dzhigan became a guest of the Evening Urgant, where he spoke about his work and his acquaintance with the co-founder of the OVO Sound label Drake. The singer called him "awesome kid" and a real professional.

At the end of 2019, Djigan posted on the Web a new track "Oxygen", recorded together with the performer Bahh Tee. He also presented a joint song with the duet Artik & Asti "There are no such things" and shot a touching video for it, the basis for which was the family photos of the performers.

In 2020, the rapper appeared in the episodes of the "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" program, became a guest of the Comedy Club show and involved the young singer Sophia Berg in the next music video.

At the end of February 2020, fans began to notice something was wrong in the singer's behavior. Dzhigan began to post strange stories on Instagram, to broadcast live drunk, to use foul language. Under a video from a trip to Israel, he wrote: "I am everything." At first, the fans attributed all the quarrels with his wife, especially since Oksana Samoilova unexpectedly announced her intention to divorce Dzhigan, accusing the artist of cheating on her and raising her hand to the children. It later became clear that there were other reasons for concern.

The singer honestly explained the situation in another live broadcast, and he appeared to the subscribers with a shaved beard. Dzhigan explained that he was undergoing rehabilitation in a mental hospital in order to overcome drug addiction. Fans figured he was at the Seaside Palm Beach Clinic in Miami. Part of the audience immediately began to wonder where he got the money for expensive treatment (a month of stay in the clinic costs $ 80 thousand), others wondered if the rapper could now continue filming the new season of the show "Improvisation".

Rumors about Djigan's bad habits leaked to the media before. Rapper Guf in an interview called his colleague an alcoholic and drug addict, followed by a video on the Web in which the musician is having fun in a strip club (later it turned out that Djigan is not openly flirting with a stranger there). Subscribers, however, were more worried not about the singer, who was under the supervision of professionals, but about his wife, who, judging by the gloomy messages on Instagram, was very upset about the possible breakup of the family.

Soon, information appeared in the press that Dzhigan was discharged from the clinic and Oksana let her unlucky spouse go home. Judging by the stories and comments on social networks, the singer was aware of his guilt and tried to make amends in order to improve relations with his beloved.

Unfortunately, this was never done: on March 31, a sad post appeared on Samoilova's Instagram page, in which she admitted that she could no longer tolerate what was happening and was filing for divorce.

In addition, Oksana hinted at Dzhigan's infidelity, saying that his confessions of love and fidelity were a hoax. According to Samoilova, it is still difficult for her to imagine herself alone with four children, but the girl is ready to be strong for their sake. The singer himself has not yet commented on the situation.
