Moscow: According to Russian media reports on Sunday, American rapper Kanye West has arrived in Moscow, as confirmed by a prominent Russian producer.
“Kanye West is already in Moscow! This is great news, he is staying in the heart of the capital,” producer Yana Rudkovskaya stated on social media, as reported by the state TASS news agency.
Amidst the ongoing Ukraine conflict and subsequent sanctions imposed on Moscow by the US and Europe, most Western artists have refrained from performing in Russia. West’s visit marks a notable exception.
