According to reports from Russian media, the well-known American rapper and producer Kanye West is currently in Moscow. However, CNN has not been able to confirm this information independently.
Sources say that West, who now goes by the name Ye, arrived in Moscow for a private visit. The brand team for Russian designer Gosha Rubchinskiy, as reported by state media TASS, shared that West is in town. Rubchinskiy is also the head of design for West's fashion brand Yeezy.
It is said that West himself even posted on the Russian social media site VK on Sunday, greeting Moscow with a simple "Hi." However, it is important to note that his account on VK is not officially verified.
If this visit is indeed true, it would make West the first major American celebrity to visit Moscow since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. CNN reached out to West's manager for comment, but has yet to receive a response.
There have been several videos circulating in Russian media showing West and his security guards in Moscow, but due to the quality of the footage, it is difficult to clearly identify him.
One notable video was shared by music producer Yana Rudkovskaya, which appeared to show West walking into a room followed by his security team. Rudkovskaya states that she has information that West and his team will be visiting the Luzhniki Stadium, but nothing has been confirmed yet.
Rudkovskaya also expressed her hope that one day, West will have the opportunity to perform at the Luzhniki Stadium. However, there is currently no information from the stadium regarding a potential concert.
Eduard Ratnikov, the general director of the TCI agency, told state media TASS that the news of a possible Kanye West concert in Moscow is simply "hype and fake." So far, nothing has been confirmed.
