About BLACK STAR

What is BLACK STAR? Biography, age and background

BLACK STAR is a prominent Russian independent music label and multifaceted entertainment company founded in 2006 by Timur Yunusov, also known as Timati. Based in Russia, the organization has grown from a record label into a massive lifestyle brand that influences various sectors of modern culture. It operates as a collective that represents a diverse roster of talent across several popular genres.

How BLACK STAR became famous

The company achieved its breakthrough by positioning itself as a primary gatekeeper for hip-hop and R&B in the Russian market during the mid-2000s. By signing high-profile artists and producing polished music videos, the label quickly became a household name. Its expansion into non-musical industries further solidified its dominance in the regional entertainment landscape.

What BLACK STAR posts

The collective primarily publishes high-quality music videos, behind-the-scenes footage, and promotional content for its roster of artists. Their YouTube presence features a mix of hip-hop, R&B, and pop music productions that often trend nationally. The content style is characterized by professional cinematography and a focus on the luxury aesthetic associated with the brand.

BLACK STAR business ventures, brands and endorsements

BLACK STAR has successfully extended its brand into a wide variety of commercial sectors including fashion, dining, and fitness. The company operates Black Star Wear, a popular clothing line, as well as a successful burger chain and fitness centers. This diversified approach allows the label to maintain a constant presence in the daily lives of its audience.

BLACK STAR net worth (estimated) and how the money is made

No reliable public estimate exists for the collective's total net worth, but it functions as a highly profitable multi-industry corporation. Revenue is generated through music distribution, live performances, and talent management fees. Additionally, the company earns significant income from its physical retail locations, restaurant franchises, and various brand partnerships.

Films, TV and signature work

Beyond music, the organization is heavily involved in the film and television sectors, producing visual media that highlights its artists. The label is responsible for launching the careers of numerous successful performers who have become icons in their own right. Their signature work includes the production of some of the most viewed Russian-language music videos on the internet.

Where to watch

Fans can primarily find the company's video content on their official YouTube channel, which serves as a hub for all their musical releases. Their music is also available on all major streaming platforms globally. Additionally, the label maintains a strong presence across social media to provide updates on their artists and various business ventures.

Awards and milestones

BLACK STAR has reached a significant digital milestone with about 5 million followers on YouTube. The label is widely recognized as one of the most influential entertainment entities in Russia. Over the years, the collective and its signed artists have secured numerous regional music awards and commercial achievements.

How big is BLACK STAR's audience?

BLACK STAR has 5M followers in total, which puts this profile in the mega band (1m – 10m followers). The largest single audience is on YouTube with 5M followers — about 100% of the total reach.

What 5M combined followers actually means

Combined reach is the sum of followers and subscribers per platform. It is not unique people: audiences overlap, so treat it as a size indicator for shortlisting rather than a guaranteed audience.

Related questions

BLACK STAR has around 5M followers in total across 1 tracked platform in 2026: 5M on YouTube. Counts are public platform figures and shift daily, so treat them as close approximations.

YouTube, with about 5M followers — roughly 100% of a 5M total following. That places BLACK STAR in the Mega band (1M – 10M followers).

Who follows BLACK STAR?

BLACK STAR is based in Russia and posts in Russian. For brands that usually means the core audience follows the same market and language, with a long tail from everywhere else — big accounts rarely stay local.

The content sits in music and movies & tv, so the people watching are self-selected for those interests. That is the useful part of a niche profile: a mid-size account inside the right category often beats a much larger general account, because the audience already cares about the subject.

If you need the same audience profile in another market, the country and language lists on CreatorFanBase let you line up comparable creators side by side instead of guessing.

Working with BLACK STAR

If you are shortlisting BLACK STAR for a campaign, these are the facts worth carrying into the brief. Everything here is stored data, refreshed on a schedule rather than typed in once.

A practical sequence: check the lead platform matches where your buyers are, check market and language, open the official account to see recent posting frequency, then ask for a media kit and rate card directly.

How we verify BLACK STAR's numbers

BLACK STAR's counts come from the platforms themselves via Apify YouTube public channel and are refreshed on a schedule; the most recent check was Oct 14, 2026. When a platform blocks a read, we keep the last verified number and show where it came from instead of filling the gap with an estimate.

How often the numbers are refreshed

Large jumps are treated as suspect: a sudden drop past our safety threshold is held back for review rather than published, which is why the numbers here tend to be lower-drama than screenshots circulating elsewhere. Found something out of date? The profile links on this page go to the official accounts, so the live number is always one click away.

Related questions

Is BLACK STAR a real verified account?
Yes — BLACK STAR's profile on CreatorFanBase is checked against the live platform pages linked above, and follower numbers come from public platform data rather than self-reported claims. If a link ever breaks we drop the number instead of guessing.
When were BLACK STAR's follower numbers last updated?
The most recent recorded check was Oct 14, 2026. Counts are refreshed on a rolling schedule from public platform data, and a sudden unexplained drop is held back for review rather than published.

Is BLACK STAR gaining or losing followers?

Follower growth is best judged across several comparable monthly checks, not a few days of snapshots. CreatorFanBase does not yet have enough monthly history to call a reliable rise or fall for BLACK STAR; the current platform totals above remain the clearest view of audience size.
