US Rapper Kanye West Visits Moscow, Russian Media Reports
In a surprising turn of events, US rapper Kanye West was reported to be in Moscow, as confirmed by Russian media outlets on Sunday. This news comes amidst a period where Western artists have largely avoided performing in Russia due to its military actions in Ukraine and subsequent sanctions from the US and Europe.
Known for his controversial political statements and recent accusations of praising Adolf Hitler, West has previously expressed admiration for President Vladimir Putin. According to a well-known Russian producer quoted by state news agency TASS, West is currently staying in the heart of Moscow, sparking hopes of a potential concert at the Luzhniki Stadium.
The producer, Yana Rudkovskaya, shared her excitement on social media, speculating that if West were to perform at Luzhniki, it would sell out quickly, given his popularity. However, Luzhniki Stadium officials have stated that they have no information regarding any upcoming concerts by the rapper.
Rumors of West’s concert in Moscow had been circulating for the past month, with fans eagerly awaiting confirmation. As of now, it remains unclear whether the Grammy-winning artist will indeed take the stage in Russia’s capital.
