Wagner, from X Factor, has changed his look due to threats from Putin's supporters.

Former X Factor star Wagner Fiuza­-Carrilho has claimed to have received death threats from supporters of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Wagner believes he is being mistaken for the Wagner Group, a Russian mercenary organization that is rumored to have turned on Putin.

The 66-year-old entertainer has been the target of horrific messages, with threats to cut off his testicles and those of his troops. Wagner also alleges that his phone and website have been hacked by Moscow, as these are the main ways he communicates with his fans.

Naturally, the threats have made Wagner fearful, and he has reportedly contacted the British Embassy in the hope of avoiding assassination. To ensure his safety, Wagner is even considering changing his appearance.

“I’m going back to my original Wagner moustache from the X Factor days, so Putin doesn’t recognise me,” he revealed. “Ever since the Wagner mercenary group launched its assault on Moscow I have had death threats from Russia. Messages warn me and my troops we are going to be assassinated and castrated. I have noticed changes on my phone and other devices, and the Kremlin must be hacking me.”

Wagner is not taking these threats lightly. He has trained as a black belt in karate and is prepared to use his martial arts skills to fight off any Russian assassins. “I have my swords and my training if they decide to come for me,” he declared.

Wagner originally rose to fame in 2010, during his time on X Factor. His renditions of Love Shack, She Bangs, Bat Out Of Hell, and Creep were widely appreciated by viewers. He was mentored by Louis Walsh and finished in an impressive sixth place.

Last year, it was revealed that Wagner had changed his career and was living back in his native Brazil. Two hair transplants had enabled him to open his own hair clinic. “I became very good friends with a hair clinic owner, and he offered to open a clinic in the northeast of Brazil where I was born. He asked if I wanted to open one and I say “yes yes”,” Wagner explained during an appearance on This Morning.

It is clear that the former X Factor star is taking the threats he has received seriously and is doing what he can to protect himself.
