Artists Potap and Nastya Kamensky have been an important part of Ukrainian show business for many years. Their duet once conquered the stage, and their songs became super popular. But after the start of the full-scale invasion, everything changed dramatically.
Oleksiy Potapenko and Nastya Kamenskykh have practically disappeared from the Ukrainian information space. Therefore, questions regularly appear on the Internet about where they are and what they are doing now. Read about it in the material of Channel 24 .
Where is Potap now?
Potap began his career as a member of the NewZCool group, as well as as part of the “VUZV” group. In 2006, the rapper created a duet with Nastya Kamensky. “Potap and Nastya” gained popularity in both Ukraine and Russia, where they also did not neglect performances and awards.
Potapenko also created the band Mozgi, and together with Irina Horova, he founded the label of the same name, which was engaged in producing artists.
Potap and Nastya met the full-scale war abroad – they stayed there for a while. At the beginning of the Russian invasion, the couple “joined in” to help: they joined the rallies, gave numerous interviews to Western media, and told the truth about the war. However, the couple rarely came to Ukraine, which is why they received criticism.

Potap “got it” not only because of living abroad. But also parties with Russians, the scandalous track “Volunteer”, an “in absentia” recording for the Terrobaron, and an interview with Russian Yuri Dudy.
Potap continues to live abroad, but he doesn't stay in one place. He has opened offices in Barcelona, Dubai, and Miami. He sometimes visits Cyprus, Thailand, and other cities.
When the war came, I had a conversation with myself about what I would do next. I decided that it would be the same thing, only in the international phase. That is why I am building MOZGI International – a future international media holding,
– said Potap.
The producer pays taxes in every country where his company is open. Potap is also developing the Slavic Balagan project, within the framework of which a Ukrainian album will soon be released.
Where is Nastya Kamensky now?
Before the full-scale invasion, Nastya Kamensky worked not only on the Ukrainian market, but also on the Spanish-speaking one. Now she continues to develop her solo career as NK. The singer shoots new videos and gives concerts.
In 2025, the artist also suffered from a wave of hate. In the summer, she gave concerts in the US and performed her hits in Russian. Although in 2022 she promised never to do this again.
Due to a language scandal, the jewelry brand “Golden Age” terminated the contract with Nastya Kamensky. The artist thanked the brand for its cooperation and recalled its constant assistance to Ukraine.
However, the criticism didn't stop there. Kamensky began to run social media in English and Spanish, sometimes dubbing the text in Russian as well.
The singer says that she dreams of being an international artist. But at the same time, it is important to understand that she is moving away from Ukraine. After all, the language of the aggressor country today makes us think about Nastya's position on the war and the Russian audience.
NK is opening a new page in his life. Without big promises, just with an open heart, for all those who want to go further with me,
– said Kamensky.
The artist probably lives with Potap. And although there are many rumors about their divorce on the Internet, the couple has repeatedly denied them. Now Potap and Nastya are rarely seen together, because they are simply tired of the constant gossip surrounding their marriage.
