She also loves her granddaughter very much, photos of whom often appear on the woman’s Instagram.

Photos of granddaughter Alisa Yunusova appear on Instagram more often than of Simone herself, but the photos can be found on the Internet.

Hi all! My name is Dima, I am a fan of Timati’s work, and this question recently interested me - why is so little information known about the family of the popular rapper? The biography and life of the famous domestic rapper Timati is known to everyone who is interested in the work of a successful performer. The singer himself willingly talks about himself in interviews with various publications and TV channels, but he doesn’t like to talk about his parents. If you are interested in what Ildar Yunusov, Timati’s dad, does, you can read the information that I was able to discover while searching on the global web.

What does Timati's father do and what is his name?

I’ll say right away that it is useless to look for any information about Timati’s parents on Wikipedia. In the all-knowing encyclopedia there is not a single article about the rapper’s father and mother; they are mentioned only in the material about Timati himself. Therefore, we went to look for the necessary information in a more “pop” source, Cosmo magazine. And we dug up everything we wanted to know about Timati himself, and about his father, family and everyone associated with him.

Who is Timati's father? Full name Timati's father is Ildar Shageevich Yunusov. As a matter of fact, this and all reliable information that can be found on the global web about the singer’s parent.

Some resources flashed information that Timati’s father is involved in the oil business and has a chain of restaurants and shops. But it was not possible to find out how true this is and what the musician’s father actually does. All I found were a few photos of Timati and his father. Ildar Yunusov himself is definitely not a public person; he is not seen at social events and his name hardly appears in the yellow press. Therefore, it remains a mystery what exactly Timati’s father does.

Timati (Timur Yunusov)

Timati, real name Timur Ildarovich Yunusov (Tat. Timur Ildar uly Yunusov). Born on August 15, 1983 in Moscow. Russian rap artist, music producer, actor and entrepreneur. Honored Artist Chechen Republic (2014).

Father - Ildar Yunusov, a major businessman, Tatar by nationality.

Mother - Simona Yakovlevna, nee Chervomorskaya, Jewish by nationality.

“I have very wealthy parents... My father raised me in such a way that I had to achieve everything myself,” said the artist.

But despite such a strict upbringing and demands for his son to be independent, the future star never needed money. Timati grew up a major. He spent his childhood on Mira Avenue.

He is the eldest son in the family. He has a younger brother Artem, who later began to actively help Timati in his work, in particular, working on finding suitable musical compositions for performance.

Timati has two scars from knife cuts, which are located just below the solar plexus with right side belly. Obviously, pranks of childhood or youth.

Musician with early age started earning money and making music. Already in 1998, at the age of 15, he was the leader of the group VIP77, and a year later he became one of Decl’s backing vocalists. Timati immediately changed his real name to a pseudonym, although originally he was Timothy.

In 2004, he became widely known thanks to his participation in the fourth season of “Star Factory”. The famous composer and producer noticed him on this project. He helped Timati release two singles, which became popular and topped the radio station ratings.

Timati - "Heaven is Crying" (Factory-4)

In 2005, he revived the group VIP77 with a new lineup. The group did not last long and broke up in 2006, and some members moved to Timati's Black Star label.

In 2006, his debut solo album, Black Star, was released. The production center Black Star Inc. was also created. This is how the clothing collection “Black Star by TIMATI” appeared, aimed at R’n’B and hip-hop youth.

In 2007, two of Timati’s close friends, Ratmir Shishkov and Deema, died in an accident, which was a big blow for him. But in the same year, the track “Dirty Sluts” was released together with Bogdan Titomir and Dzhigan, Timati’s first solo concert took place at the Zhara club, organized by Phlatline. Tracks from Fat Joe, Nox and Xzibit were also recorded.

In 2008, he recorded the video “Don’t Go Crazy” for the track of the same name from the Black Star album, the track “Forever” with Bad Boy Records artist Mario Winans.

In the same year, together with the Sprandi company, the first line of sportswear “TS Timati for Sprandi” was released, the presentation of which took place at Russian Fashion Week in Moscow.

Timati also became a character mobile game“The whole world is against Timati” (“Timati Incide”), developed by mobile entertainment provider Iricom, together with a team of game developers from PageNet.

In 2009, 3 singles from the album The Boss were released, and on November 13, the presentation of Timati’s second album, The Boss, took place at the Moscow club Milk.

Also in the spring of 2009, during a medical examination at the military registration and enlistment office, a psychiatrist marked the rapper as “mentally unbalanced,” which is why he was not accepted into the army.

In 2010, the video “Time” was released for the track of the same name from the album The Boss. In April, a video for the song “How Much Is Love” was released, directed by Pavel Khudyakov.

On June 1, 2010, the first clothing store from Timati opened. On the same day, Timur held a large charity concert with the participation of DJ Smash, Sergei Lazarev and the group “Fidgets”.

In 2012, he starred in a campaign video for the 2012 presidential campaign.

He was an ambassador for the 2013 Universiade, which took place in Kazan.

On October 28, 2013, the fourth studio album 13 was released. In 2014 and 2016, three more albums by the rapper were released, one of which was intended for Japan.

Timati has repeatedly participated in film projects, in particular, he starred in the sequel to the film Odnoklassniki. He also released his own film called “Capsule”. Without looking away from the cinema, the rapper in 2014-2015 recorded the tracks “Beard”, “Show-offs”, “Bomb Girl”, “Utesov”, “GTO”, “Hey, why are you so daring?” and made several videos.

The list of his professional achievements also includes dubbing the role of Tremaine in the film “District 13: Brick Mansions” and participating in the song show “I Want to Meladze,” where he appeared before television viewers as one of the jury members.

Professional music critics accuse Timati of the inferiority of his work in comparison with Western artists. Timati was repeatedly caught in obvious plagiarism: for example, on the album Black Star he took an instrumental from the group Clipse and presented it as his own composition “Zombie”, and the track “Alone” from the album The Boss turned out to be a simple translation of Kanye West’s song “Welcome to Heartbreak” ”, which has undergone a small arrangement and adaptation for the Russian listener.

Timati grew up as a musical and creatively developed boy. But he didn’t show much interest in school. Then his parents sent him to music school teach playing the violin. Timur Yunusov devoted 4 years to this instrument, but he did this at the request of his mother, who had many musicians in her family. Even as a child, Timati was involved in swimming and figure skating. And at the age of 13, the father sent his son to Los Angeles, where young Timati (by the way, it was in America that he got this pseudonym) studied hip-hop culture. Ildar Yunusov, Timur’s father, hoped in vain that his son would miss studying - this did not happen.

After graduating high school, Timati entered High school Economics in Moscow, but studied there for only six months.

Career in show business, albums and songs of Timati

Not wanting to receive higher education, young Timur Yunusov went to work. Timur earned his first money at McDonald's, and Timati was proud of this episode in his biography.

In 1998, Timati (then Timothy) and a friend organized his first rap group VIP77. In 1999, Timur Yunusov worked as a backing MC for Decl, who was then at the peak of his popularity. Together with Decl, Timati attended a breakdancing school.

Timati's conflict with Kirkorov

Philip Kirkorov and Timati quarreled in 2012 over a discussion of the Muz-TV award. Timati then responded to Alla Pugacheva’s ex-husband with a quote from the meme song “Goodbye!”, subsequently recording an entire video under that name and launching a similar hashtag directed against Philip Kirkorov.

Timati and Kirkorov reconciled only in 2016, as reported in the news, with the assistance of Grigory Leps. In 2017, the friendship between Timati and Kirkorov reached a new level. Timur Yunusov recorded a video in a duet with Philip Kirkorov. “If someone had told me seven years ago that I would record a song with Philip Kirkorov, I most likely would have laughed in his face. Today I present to you a joint video and song “Last Spring”, and I won’t lie, I don’t know a single artist who, in fact, would sing this chorus better! The moral here is simple: two accomplished, adult people with a decidedly complicated history of relationships considered the creative part, more important aspect, today, than grievances, claims and claims that have expired,” wrote Timati. Timur Yunusov also noted that his mother praised him for such a courageous act.

Timati's personal life

Timati dated Alena Shishkova (born November 12, 1992), 2nd Vice-Miss Russia 2012. Alena, as befits a modern beauty, constantly posts her photos from Instagram.

In April 2017, due to a tight work schedule, Timur Yunusov was hospitalized. According to the Life portal, the singer arrived at one of the best private clinics in the capital in an expensive Gelendvagen car, accompanied by security who did not leave his room.

Interesting facts from the life of Timati

Rapper Timati, by his own admission, turned out to be unfit for military service due to an overabundance of tattoos on his body. They say that if 50% or more of the surface of a conscript’s body is covered with a tattoo, the guy is considered not quite mentally healthy and becomes unfit for service.

“I always considered the army unnecessary in my life. Having learned this decision of the medical board, I came home with a happy smile. And my mother told me: “You see, at least once your tattoos came in handy,” Timati said about this.
