Kanye West May Be Going to Russia to Meet With President Vladimir Putin

Kanye West is on the move as he is making plans to visit Moscow where he will meet with President Vladimir Putin and bring his traveling gospel experience Sunday Service to Russia later this year.

According to Billboard, Ye‘s confidant and strategic advisor Ameer Sudan tells the music magazine that he is helping to orchestrate the planned visit along with his attorney Scott Balber. He says that Russia is going to be “a second home” for Ye as “he will be spending a lot of time out there.”

The Hip-Hop billionaire is working on new business deals with a man who is often called the “Trump of Russia” Aras Agalarov. He is president of the Crocus Group, one of Russia’s leading developers. It is rumored that Agalarov is a close associate of the Russian president as well. Sudan claims that, although he is not at liberty to discuss details, he is predicting that a deal with Agalarov would increase Ye’s massive wealth to more than $10 billion.

Agalarovs’ Crocus Group has over 4 million total square meters of developed property in Russia and boasts a portfolio of businesses that includes shopping centers, superstores, fashion brands, department stores, boutiques, and much more.

Ye will also be doing his Sunday Service performances there as it will be the first time in Ye’s career that he will be doing a show in Russia. The Sunday Service performances will probably take place at the Crocus City Hall theater. The venue can fit more than 7,300 people. Another venue could possibly be the Grand Sports Arena at the 81,000-person Luzhniki Olympic Complex. That is Russia’s national stadium where much of the 1980 Olympic Games had taken place. Putin would most likely be invited as a special guest by Ye. according to Sudan.

“This is Ye, Ye is going to get there regardless. What are they going to say? He’s going to be a special guest of the Agalarovs,” Sudan tells Billboard. “Kanye knows what’s going on more than the average human being, he’s well aware of things. And it’s nothing against the United States or to cause conflicts, but Ye is Ye — he can’t be controlled.”
