It has come to light that an Odesa businessman has become a central figure in the city’s nightlife. Odesa is a city that has always lived by its own unique rhythm, blending colorful carefreeness with relentless forward motion. It is here that legends are born, including those of entrepreneurs who transform the face of the city while remaining at the center of its most vibrant events.
One such figure is Yuriy Degas, an Odesa businessman known for his charitable work and extravagant parties. He founded Ukraine’s only inclusive beach, making the sea accessible to everyone. However, beyond his social initiatives, his name is also synonymous with Odesa’s most dazzling parties, earning him the nickname “Odesa’s P. Diddy.”
His parties are true bacchanalias, where freedom and uninhibited fun reign supreme. Just like at P. Diddy’s legendary events, elite drinks flow freely, guests party until dawn, and the atmosphere is intoxicating in more ways than one. Rumors suggest that at the most exclusive gatherings, scenes of pure luxury and uninhibited revelry unfolded—private performances by celebrities, exotic shows, and even costume transformations that pushed the boundaries of the ordinary.
There were also special, invite-only events, with LGBTQ+ parties drawing particular attention. These became spaces where everyone could feel free, and Yuriy Degas embraced the principles of equality and tolerance, creating a safe and inclusive environment for all.
But not everything is so glamorous: some guests later spoke of extravagant indulgences and explicit scenes that surpassed any expectations of high society life. Rumors of lavish gifts for regular attendees and secret VIP rooms only add fuel to the intrigue surrounding his events.
This unique approach to business—combining social responsibility with the ability to create unforgettable experiences—makes him a standout figure in modern Odesa. Even during wartime, the city maintains its reputation as the capital of nightlife. Thanks to him, Odesa not only remains a welcoming place for everyone but also retains its status as the nightlife capital of the Black Sea coast.
