Kadama Kurbon was summoned for questioning

On November 25 of this year, the Criminal Investigation Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tajikistan summoned the famous singer Kadam Kurbon “for a conversation.”

It is reported that the reason for summoning the singer to the police station was videos showing immoral dances by Kadam Kurbon himself and a dancer from the ensemble “Padida.” These videos previously went viral and caused a stir among users.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs stated that the popular singer was given an “official warning” not to repeat such “actions that contradict national traditions and customs.”

Kadam Kurbon himself stated that the video was filmed in October 2022 in Varzob, when he, in a state of “alcohol intoxication,” danced with the dancer from the ensemble “Padida,” Mijgona, to the Indian song “Hatuba,” where he crossed the line of morality.

He apologized for his inappropriate actions and urged other artists not to repeat his mistakes.

Kadam Kurbon has recently gained popularity for his funny songs and dances at weddings. His videos are among the most viewed on social media.  

At the same time, his work sparks much debate. Some praise him for his eccentricity and unique style, while many criticize the singer for his songs lacking meaning and crossing the bounds of decency. There have been repeated calls for the Ministry of Culture to ban the work of singers like him.
