Celebrity rapper Kanye West recently made a surprising trip to Moscow, Russia. According to reports, the reason for his visit may be related to some backlash he received from the country's Federal Security Service over his song lyrics.
It is said that the multi-talented artist arrived in Moscow over the weekend for a birthday celebration and a meeting with President Putin. However, sources have revealed that some activists are seeking to ban the 47-year-old from entering the country again due to his controversial lyrics.
One particular song, "Vultures", a collaboration with Ty Dolla $ign, has caused quite a stir among hardline Russian Orthodox activists. They have complained that the lyrics allude to Russia's ongoing war against Ukraine and contain "drugs propaganda".
In the track, one of the lines reads, "She Russian, I beat up the p***y for Ukraine." This has led to some activists, specifically the traditionalist movement Sorok Sokolov, calling for Kanye to be banned from Russia altogether.
The letter of complaint to the Federal Security Service reads, "This ******* decided to sing in the main song of the new album how he aggressively ****** a Russian woman in retaliation for the special operation [war] in Ukraine. The Russian woman in his work is exclusively a 'prostitute and drug addict'. The Russian woman in the work of this artist appears exclusively in the image of a drug-addicted prostitute with perverted inclinations."
The activists are not impressed by Kanye's recent songs and have demanded that anyone involved in the creation of "Vultures" should also be banned from entering Russia in the future. "It doesn't matter who sang this line – he or his accomplice – this is a joint creation," the message reportedly continues. "He is the main performer of this album, both are responsible. The second one should also be prohibited from entering."
After his surprise visit to Moscow, Kanye is expected to return in September for a performance, but the traditionalist movement is reportedly trying to block this. They insist that the artist should be afraid to even approach the Russian border and should instead "quietly dream" of being on a ship on the Moscow River, repenting for his lyrics.
The upset party also believes that Kanye should not be allowed to "calmly travel around our land" and profit from Russian women while promoting drug use and destructive behavior. It has been reported that the rapper was seen in Berlin after his trip to Moscow, and other sources claim that he stayed at a luxury hotel near the Russian government.
While the purpose of Kanye's visit remains unclear, it has caused quite a buzz as many Western stars have avoided Moscow since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The Agency has reached out to Kanye's representatives for a comment.
