Meet Oksana Samoylova, a star mom who took to social media to share a powerful tale - the acceptance of her daughter Ariel's newfound passion for a surprising musical genre. The 13-year-old, being a heiress of Dzhigan, stands miles apart from her father's music, preferring a unique blend of contemporary rappers that left the parents in a bind at first.
"It's a tale of a star-struck Ariel! Yesterday, we attended her favorite artists' concert, and boy were we witness to pure joy unfold," beamed Oksana.
At the outset, Oksana and Dzhigan were less than enthusiastic about their daughter delving into music that differed dramatically from her father's creations. However, a moment of self-reflection led Oksana to recall her own turbulent teenage years, when her parents labeled her music taste as "rubbish" while she leaned towards songs like "Propaganda," "Bachelor Party," and "Dolphin." The heartache and distance that ensued from a lack of understanding left a deep mark on Oksana, making her vow not to repeat the same mistake with her daughter.
"Intriguing observation: when Ariel initially expressed interest in their music and style, we were reluctant. But remembering my own adolescence and our arguments over music, I decided to approach her interests with an open mind. Ta-da! A transformed relationship! We have a plethora of topics to ponder upon again, and trust and understanding have been restored," revealed Oksana.
As it turns out, Ariel has developed a penchant for "vaipers" - artists influenced by the informal or even "gothic" rap subculture. The dynamic duo, Viperr, comprises 9mice and Kai Angel, who sport a provocative look, with long, dyed black hair and dark, baggy clothing. Initially, this "offbeat" image unnerved the star parents; however, they eventually accompanied Ariel to their concert and even met the artists in person.
"Imagine our surprise finding scores of 'Mini-Ariels' at the concert! Just goes to show, it all makes sense now," concluded Oksana, feeling at ease.
