The strange story of Ben Zini and the refugee from Ukraine
In recent months, the youth idol has been hosting in his home a Ukrainian TikTok star who fled the war.
This arrangement is puzzling, and we are being very gentle here.
So what's really going on there?
Walla!

"What happened to
Ben Zini
" is a question that is always appropriate to ask, but specifically now - what the hell happened to Ben Zini?
And more specifically - what happens between Ben Zini and
Ksenia
?
Even in relation to the guy who claimed the slang term "Lishontzli" while he was still young, something here smells OFF.
Let's start with the nebulous story about the Tiktok star Xenia, whom Zini suddenly decided to host in his house in Israel.
There was no connection between them beyond followers.
There is no connection between them today apart from being roommates, apparently, and yet they are constantly photographed together.
More precisely, Ben Zini takes pictures and Ksenia nods to the side with a helpful smile.
From the outside, the deal between them looks something like this: Ben Zini provides Ksenia with an escape from Putin, and she in return provides him with a personal promotion, as someone who had a TikTok account (which was blocked) with over two million followers.
Among the wealth of content provided by Xenia by its very existence, you will find a video of Ben Zini feeding her spicy fish, Ben Zini teaching her words in Hebrew and the two together promoting Ben Zini's new song as if their lives depended on it, which may be true in Xenia's case.

In Zinni's case, this promotion surely can't hurt a song that was a failure in its early days, so he posted a video blaming TikTok for the song's poor distribution.
To put it mildly: there are cases where the algorithm is not to blame.
Either way, leveraging Xenia's success turned out to be a successful move.
Although there was disappointment among the audience that she did not participate in the song itself, as Ben Zini had promised at first, because the mother of the singer
Anal Valenzi
- Ksenia is undoubtedly the one that Ben Zini puts in the front, and the videos with her participation receive hundreds of comments and shares time and time again.
And there are endless of them.
If you scroll through Ben Zini's profile these days, you'll have a hard time finding a video that doesn't include Xenia and the sound of "Monshri".
But the really strange part is the new Israeli Tiktok that Xenia opened for herself - a thousand times "allegedly" - all in Hebrew, even though the star's Hebrew vocabulary consists of the words "Ben Zini" and "Aam Yisrael Chai".
In every one of her videos, and I'll emphasize, in every fucking one of her videos, Ksenia promotes the song "Monshari" by Ben Zini.
There is not a single video on the star's page that is not recruited for the host service.
More in Walla!

@ksenia_kisenia_israel help me turn this challenge into a trend on tiktok??? Returns a follower to 10 out of everyone who does the dance!! #foryou #foryoupage #מונשרי ♬ Munshri - Ben Zini
In the videos, Ksenia dances to the sounds of pearls such as "Roberto Cavalli is drinking/ At night she didn't give me", while one of the videos is attached with the creepy description in Hebrew, "I didn't give him a night" accompanied by an emoji crying with laughter.
In the description of another video, it is also written in Hebrew, "returns a follower to one of those who do the challenge".
If Ksenia herself is the one who wrote the descriptions, I am Taylor Malkov.
Does Ben Zini manage Ksenia's Tiktok page - at this point it sounds like a rather unnecessary question, but does Ksenia even know what is happening on her Tiktok page?
Ksenia, if you need help, please wear a yellow shirt.
There is no person who deserves to hum "Monshri" for so long in a row.
