Ivan Vitalievich Petunin, who performed under the stage name ‘walkie’, was found dead on Friday after jumping from a high-rise apartment building in the city of Krasnodar, according to Russian-language news outlet 93.ru, which was translated by The Post, reports nypost.com.

The rapper’s death has since been confirmed by his girlfriend and his mother, who spoke to a 93.ru reporter, independent Russian media outlet Mediazona reported.

Petunin committed suicide by throwing himself off the 10th floor, local sources told the outlets.

Before the tragic leap, the rapper also filmed himself delivering a heart-wrenching suicide message that was posted to his Telegram channel, local media reported.

“If you are watching this video, then I am no longer alive,” he said in Russian, according to a translated version of the 2-minute 16-second clip published by TMZ.

“I can’t take the sin of murder on my soul and I don’t want to. I am not ready to kill for any ideals. To murder someone in war or otherwise is something I cannot do,” he continued.

“It seems to me that partial mobilisation will become full in a few days,” Petunin said, referencing the ramped-up war effort rolled out by strongman Putin, whom he later called a “maniac.”

“Forgive me, my loved ones, but sometimes you have to die for your principles,” the tragic message continued.

“My last decision is exactly how I die,” he continued, looking emotional and breathing deeply.

Walkie had nearly 40,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, and his song which means “Neurotoxin,” had been streamed nearly 2 million times.

The recording artist had been releasing music since 2013, his Bandcamp page showed.

Petunin had reportedly previously served in the army and had been treated in a mental hospital.

In a letter to his girlfriend, Petunin wrote that because of Russia’s sham ‘referendums’ that led to the annexation of four regions of Ukraine last week, “everyone will go to the front lines.”

He continued: “People with psychosocial ailments ever worse than mine are already being sent there without any hesitation.”

His final act of desperation came as Russian men were fleeing the warring nation in droves or breaking their own arms to avoid being conscripted into military action following Putin’s September 21 address that called for 300,000 reservists to be sent to battle.

Nearly 200,000 Russians had fled to neighbouring Georgia, Kazakhstan and Finland since the announcement, risking 10-year prison sentences if captured.(WION)
