Kazakh singer Dimash Qudaibergen unexpectedly turned to Russian performer Nikolai Baskov with a question about what tea is best to drink after a rehearsal. The post appeared on the Threads social network, reports infohub.kz.
Some fans doubted that the message was written by a real person rather than artificial intelligence. However, the question sparked a lively response: many saw it as an ironic reference to Baskov's song "Golden Cup."
Nikolai Baskov replied briefly: "Your outstanding voice doesn't even need tea."
The post also gathered a fair amount of negative comments because the former opera singer has made controversial statements in recent years, and criminal proceedings have been initiated against him in Ukraine. Nevertheless, many users answered the question in earnest.
"Dear friend, I don't know what Baskov will advise, but personally I recommend tea with cloves... It smells nice and is good for the throat," wrote one commenter.
"I still have a pack of 'Dimash' tea. Dimash, do you even remember that you produced it? I'm keeping that pack," added another.
Earlier, Kursiv LifeStyle reported that Dimash Qudaibergen showed a photo with a gift from the President of Kazakhstan.
