Dimash decided to stay quiet concerning the episode because it would cause an international incident...it takes great courage to be able to make that choice...again it shows the character of this young man yet again

It must have been so scary to be drugged like that ... yet he went on to perform like a champion. So proud of Dimash Kudaibergen!

The more talented you are and the more popular you become, the more likely you will be targeted by a certain jealousy.

Next time Dimash, always get your own drinks or sealed drinks at all times. If you open it and don't drink it all, never pick it up again, its easily tampered with. You're entering the cruel adult world of music and your level of talent is a threat to some. Take care, and get expert help on how to protect yourself and your health.

Bad things that happen to Dimash is because of his talent and some people are jealous which is not God like. But because he is God sent to us, he will always be protected. Because he is good, passionate, loving all, sincere, all due to his up bringing. There is too much hate in this world right now and thank God we have Dimash. He calms us down and we forget all the bad just by listening to his beautiful voice. So he is strong willed and loving and forgiving. That's what makes Dimash, DIMASH!

Здравствуйте! Димаш, самый лучший певец вМИРЕ,самый талантливый, самый красивый!!!Мы ВСЕ его очень любим.БРАВО, Димаш!!!

Dimash, you are the gift for Kazakhstan people. You make them proud to be Kazakht🌺🌺🌺👍👍👍

Some people will clearly see him as an opponent imposible to over come. But he is strong. We are proud of him.

Dimash is such a beautiful young man, so humble, so kind, so endearing. He is far more than just an exceptional singer. He is a joy to my life. He puts a smile on my face and on my heart. I wish I could thank him to renewing my spirit, which had been broken. I will be loyal to Dimash always in all of his endeavors. Take care, my Dear. Well wishes to you and those you love.

Димаш очень открытый и большой души человек. Преданно любит родину и близких, уважительно относится ко всем людям, и большой труженик. Сила духа 💪🏻 его крепка. Так держать, алга Димаш!!! Мы тебя любим❤️🇰🇿

WTF? Some people are clearly jealous, and will stoop to any level to hurt or stop you Dimash! I will pray for your protection and continued success. May your enemies drop to their knees at your greatness. I will pray that they learn to respect you. Love you Dimash! Stay safe! 💥💞💥😄

Ok I had no idea about this... I'm shocked but then again I wonder why I'm shocked... true talent and its twisted... I love Dimash not just for his incredible talent but for his integrity.... that's very rare now... my heart aches at the thought of someone so talented , so full of passion for the art he creates, and sharing his culture... and people want to run it down... i think the reason people try to run him down is becsuse he ( not him purposely) highlights true talent and hard work... sick of pop stars who can barely carry a note but get attention.... it's very sad when someone as talented and so much passion as Dimash is oh I don't know what to say but I'll follow , support n spread videos if this man . He deserves it

Thanks for the translation. I have seen parts of this and heard about it, but not the whole thing. Dimash as not always had it easy, faced haters and criticism along the way. Luckily his is stubborn and knows what he wants. Just one more reason to admire his strength.

The fact that a performer like Dimash exists at this level fame is hopefully a sign that our culture is improving.

So grateful that Dimash is well and healthy, and unharmed!!!!! Every story of how Dimash handles difficulties only increases our admiration, love and affection. Such a wonderful young man who brings inspiration, purity and tenderness to the world, and who even understands how wicked the world can be. Love, peace and protection always!

Oh my dear Dimash! I had no idea this happened to you. Please be very careful. As your fame increases, so does the danger! There are evil people in this world who are probably jealous of you or perhaps have problems accepting your culture or whatever. Lock up all of your belongings including your food! Trust only those you know very well. You have a beautiful heart and soul but please be very careful!! Love you so much Dimash. God bless you and all those you love! 🇺🇸

It shocks me to know there are people out there who would do this. In the end talent won and goodness triumphed over evil. Take care Dimash ♥️

Bless you Dimash, you are the loveliest young man and the most incredible singer I’ve ever seen and you do not deserve treatment like that

Unfortunately life is a battle of good and evil, and someone jealous of Dimash's great talent tried to harm him. Dimash, take care and be strong! We love you!

Jesus! I can't believe it. Poor my sweet boy. What happened to him It was really cruel. How is possible a thing like that happens nowadays. That wasnt just an act of jealousy but a crime. Cos they wanted harm him. Fortunately he Is blessed for god or whoever. Despite all of these intentions to stop him. He managed to deal with them sucessfully. I love him so much. Thanks for this video.

Sickness is no match for greatness. You beat your illness won the competition be your are a champion. You rock DQ

Dimash is so centered. He knows who he is and takes life as it comes with maturity and grace.

DIMASH, tiene una educación muy marcada a lo moral, al respeto y humildad, cualidades muy inusuales en este tiempo.motivo de alabanza a tan gran artista. Por otro lado gracias a Dios lis intentos por apagarlo, por destruirlo no repercutieron. Dios le salvo. Mi amor y respeto para DIMASH Y SU AMOROSA FAMILIA. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😍🇲🇽

Thanks for the translation Dear Ruxanda❣ We missed you... This drug incident is a terrible reminder that Caution must never fall asleep. I always realize again and again how strong Dimash is and how full of goodness and faith he is, despite all the experiences in his exposure so far. May God/Allah protect him and may He continue to be so 🙏🙏 May even the slightest human evil and trouble bypass him, may the strong and loyal love of all the Dears of the world be his guardian and impenetrable shield in the form of a mirror that repels and returns all evil from him according to the perpetrators. I believe Dimash is already protected - he is a gift of God to mankind. How he only managed to win, in such circumstances! He is amazing! What doesn't kill a man makes him stronger! 💪💪✊ He, for such a famous person, has a rare ability to balance: to be a normal, loving person, but still with a healthy dose of caution and restraint. Only such a strong person can proudly bear the name - Dimash! Bow to the floor! 🙌

He was sick and drugged, and he still performed that song masterfully. It was even better than on The Singer.

Dimash tiene una educación maravillosa, que lamentablemente en nuestro mundo Occidental se ha ido perdiendo. Felicitaciones a su familia 😄

Son las cosas que Dimash tuvo que soportar en el difícil mundo del espectáculo. Pero siempre lo hizo con aplomo y resiliencia! Más admiración de sus dears por ser cómo es! Adoro Dimash, porque él es un hombre pacífico y de gran personalidad!

Goodness me - some people are so evil. Kudos to Dimash, he overcame the difficulties he faced and prevailed.

He even won them while sick and drugged ! 🤣 It made them understand their level compare to his! 🌟🤯😎 They must have gone mad ! 🤣🤣🤣

Gosh ! For the first time I hear and see this interview. Anyone who can do this? Who can do harm to a good-hearted and humble person like Dimash😟 They are really evil. May God protect you, Dimash, from all the evil and envious in the world🤲🏻

Oh My 😯 - Karma will come back to that person or person(s) × 5 !! Dimash; Bless your ♡ -I'm shocked to hear this translation. At least, Good won over evil..., as it should 👏 🙌 #bravo

Wow I didn’t realize he had been attacked like that. I can see why he keeps his family around him. It is important for his safety. I wonder if they found out who tried to drug him. And who messed with the monitor. Those types of people should not be allowed anywhere near the competitions and should go to jail. He was already sick and could have really harmed him. Thank goodness he recovered and we have the continued gift of hearing him sing. Now more than ever we as dears need to protect against bad behavior and give Dimash the space to have a healthy life. Now that he is older we all should support his privacy so he can do normal things like date. His work place is where we meet him. I wonder how many other competitors in those two festivals experienced the same things.

Dimash you are much better singer than Vitas or any others, I understand there are very good singers but you are next level, the best of the best, you are great not only as an artist but as a person too!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻💐❤️💐❤️🇲🇽

❤️ Ruxanda, thank you so much!! 🥰❤️🤗🌹🌷🌹🌷🇭🇺

Thank you so much Ruxanda for posting! 🤗❤️ I read this somewhere once a while ago, but couldn't find it again when i tried to. Didn't think that people would be "cheating" in such ways during competitions. Honestly i haven't really watched singing contests before Dimash, and the Singer was such a great show to get introduced to. I love how the contestants supported each other instead of being rivals, and so great friendships were made. Sad to see that it didn't work like that in some other competitions. But Dimash did so great, as always. He's so strong to always overcome the hardships and deliver an amazing performance nonetheless. He's a real man! 👍😁

Dimash is special human being

Dimash, un hermoso ser humano 👏👏👏, muchas gracias Ruxanda, por la traducción ❤️❤️❤️👍 saludos desde México 🇲🇽👏👏👏👏

Hi Dimash thanks for your art Pleash be carefull my boy Remember you are the best singer in the world and it CAN refuse to someone Be carefull E need you Kiss from Cuba

he drugged and still performed... 👏👏👏👏

This is a good lesson to people competing in shows never leave your drink unattended. If you do get a new one don’t assume it has not been tempered with when you leave it.

Omg I can't believe someone did that to Dimash

OMG, unbelievable, sorry Dimash ❤️

This is a cruel world. Full of evil. Yet the good forgive. May God protect Dimash always!

Well well this fascinating. Being drugged. How horrifying. He is verry strong to rise above all that. Thanks so much 😍😍😍😍

Gracias, Ruxanda por la traducción, que caballero, sensato, respetuoso, y centrado con sus palabras. Es extraordinario.👍♥️♥️

Thanks for the translation Ruxanda, you're a gem!🧡💛🧡. So glad Dimash doesn't do competitions anymore.

Рахмет❤️ Thank you a lot for interview ❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹👏👏👏👏👏

Thank you for translating and posting on KZfaq! I am really shocked about what people are doing, so selfish, mean and cruel - such a criminal energy in people - agsinst Dimash! And he doesn't make it public - always reasonable, humble, feeling responsible for peace and relationships... It is incredible what Dimash already has gone through... Poor boy, and still he is so kind and supporting and respectful to everybody, and wishing all people the best. Wow!! Dimash is such a strong, special, wonderful young man! Everybody should take him as an idol of how people should behave, he shows greatness and humanity in its purest way! Thank you Dimash for existing, thank you for who you are and how you are! WE LOVE YOU!!!❤️❤️🙏🙏

Those people who did this to Dimash are horrendous people and I for one know they were horrible people to begin with and for sure they cannot be labelled as artists.

I think Dimash's traditions and past conflicts of his government with communist regimes has a lot to do with keeping his reactions low key. He's trying to please too many factors at once. I hope his family and his government see that he's more than ready to branch out. The world is ready for him.

Very humble man 👏👏👏👏

My always told me once you sit your drink down and.leave it, never come back and drink it ,unfortunately there are people who look for the opportunity to harm others, be careful dimash, your voice is extraordinary, beautiful , and powerful, many will be jealous. 🤴💐💐💐💐

Milles merci pour cette interview et la traduction. Dimash is the best, Dimash forever. 👍👍👍💖💖💖💖💖💖🇨🇵❤️🇰🇿💕💕💕❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Not everyone that Smiles has a sincere heart. Such a great story line of Good conquers evil. Very deserving of Divine Protection!!!!!!!!!!!!

My you Dimash be further blessed and looked after. We need you, your love, ethics and your voice. Stay safe. 😍💞

Dimash, you can heal your self with recite 40 times al Fatihah in bowl of water and drink it..

DIMASH: Don't sign sign anything, eat fast food etc... Just your food from your country. Keep your friends around you 24-7 ! ! !

May Allah keep your beautiful heart forever.

Muchas gracias por la traducción 😍😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

Oh damn that’s seriously messed up to drug someone like that. Whoever does it deserves to be arrested. It’s awful he couldn’t report it because it would cause political issues, no government should be so pathetic that a crime against any individual would cause international fallout.

How can they harm an angel like Dimash, but praise be to God, despite this, he has won and is now the great and beloved Dimash😞😞

Thank God, it was only sleeping pills in his water.

La verdad,para ser un chico tan joven, tienes un concepto de la responsabilidad,del honor y de la honestidad,muy,muy difícil de ver en jóvenes de tú edad.Todos los padres queremos un hijo cómo tú!!!, sobre todo las madres 😄😆😁💟💋😅❤❤❤❤

I just hope and pray that by now Dimash and family understand he is very vulnerable to such attacks. One can never grasp all the possible motives...but those people exist and he must be careful. Never leave your drink or food. Basically, drive defensively. Many many people are jealous. When one is put on such a pedestal, there's always the yahoo idiots who need to knock them off. Dimash is so grounded and wise beyond his years. His grandparents knew early on he was special. They gave him such love in his heart and the internal strength to follow his bliss. And the world is grateful.

Молодец Димаш !!! Спасибо за интервью,.... Даже слов не нахожу , все давно уже сказано, То что он скромный, вежливый, и самое главное- простой парень, ведь он давно уже на сцене, и мог бы давно,, нос задрать,,, как многие АРТИСТЫ делают... Я думаю и надеюсь, что он не изменит своим принципам, вот оно такое прекрасное воспитание... СПАСИБО КАЭАХСТАНУ за такого прекрасного АРТИСТА!!!!!

I don't understand how some people can live with themselves after achieving something with cheating. It would feel amazing if in a competition, I would achieve victory relying on my own skill and talent, and not on dirty tactics. But that's only me, I guess. I hope he becomes even wiser, and choses only the best people to surround him. And wish him the best, cause people need people like him to inspire them.

This shows how humanity can sunk deep down; the sin of jealousy is dangerous

Se me hace bonito que Di reconozca el trabajo de cuidado de su mamá.

hes gotten sick or had something bad happen before so many competitions/performances its insane.. and also the amount of times he couldve lost his voice completely is astounding. hes so strong and is obviously meant to be singing if hes made it this far.

Dimash es un ejemplo de trabajo, responsabilidad y amor, los que tenemos el honor de conocer su arte y su persona, lo amamos, su presencia, su música, vos nos transporta a su mundo!!!! el mundo debe disfrutar de su musica!!!! mi alma saluda tu alma Dimash.

Gracias por tu trabajo, ya tenía tiempo que no te veía, felicidades, desde Veracruz México!!!!

Thanks Ruxanda. Kissis from Argentina

So sad to hear Dimash facing adversity in a singing competition he was invited to. Some people have mentioned evil against the person who subotaged Dimash's drink. I would also add cowardess. What also bugs me, is that the show producers trying to dictate what a person sings. Thankfully, Dimash did not listen to them!!!

Dimash, Dimash, Dimash, is the best around the planet, no more🕺🎤🎵🎶🇰🇿🌌

Thank you Ruxanda for your good job.🌹🌹🌹

Muchas gracias por la traducción. Hay gente mala x todos lados por suerte dimash pudo superar eso porque es un ser maravilloso no se quedo en eso y mal como estaba afronto la competencia y gano díganme sino es un ser especial y por eso se lo quiere tanto. Y ahora tiene su ejercito de dears que lo protege. Jajajaja.🥰🥰🥰🥰🇦🇷

Суға снотворный қосқан қандай адам екен?! Қандай қиындықпен келген жеңіс! Аллаһ көмек берген ғой саған. Әрдайым абай болып жүр! Жаным сол!😙💖💕💖💕💖🎶🎶🎶🌹🌹🌹🤗🙋‍♀️🇰🇿🌏

thank you very much ,you are the best

Please, never drink anything you have set down & walked away from or if a new drink is questionable, ask for another from someone else. There are people in this world making terrible choices. Your kind soul reaches far more people than those who are doing harm.

All the Angels of heaven be around you.

You are the best in the whole wide world! Keep on keeping’ on. 🌟✨🌟

Димаш ♥️♥️♥️👍👏👏👏🇷🇺

preciosa!! thank youuuu 😘😘🇪🇸 ya sabéis chicas, manifestarle abiertamente lo que se siente por el no os acerca mas a su lado, si es que teneis alguna opción de ello, todo lo contrario 😉

Obrigada 🙏🌷🇧🇷🙋‍♀️

Are you real? You have good attitude please dont change always be like this Dimash.

Dear Rux! Long time not knowing about you! Welcome back girl! This is a bomb! Thank you very much 🌹

His voice sounds very different, but he does have a 7 octave voice. I'm so proud of Dimash, l knew he was a man of God. You draw people closer to God.

Thank you Ruxanda for the translation 💕

i love you Dimash my love

Thanks for the translation, especially the audio one. 👌🏾👍🏽🙏🙏🙏🙏

Dimash si è rivelato un incredibile talento fin da piccolo... cose del genere sono inaccettabili! Dimash è una forza della natura e, con tutta la sua famiglia, è ammirevole per non aver reagito: ha continuato ad essere ed è un talento unico e incomparabile, un adorabile giovane uomo, sempre più famoso e amato nel mondo intero! ✨✨🎶🎵🎶💙

It's risky in general being a public figure. I'm sure his people are aware this can happen now. First the area that performers keep their personal items should only be accessible to people who work with him. That means food, clothing, computers etc. Water bottles are extremely easy to alter. Airport security doesn't allow it in many regions because anyone can siphon out water and fill it up with a syringe and epoxy and no one will know by inspecting it.

REQUEST DIMASH on MTV USA on Fridays from 17.00 till 20.00

Wow! Que ser tan extraordinario. Que gran bendiciòn poder disfrutar de sus espectaculares talentos... 😍

Интересное интервью. Молодец, Димаш!

WOWWWW DIMASH 💕💕💕💕💕
