Kanye West, now calling himself Ye, is reportedly set to perform in Russia this fall—tickets for his Gazprom Arena show in St. Petersburg sold out fast, even at prices from €92 to over €1,600. This would mark one of the biggest Western artist appearances there since the Ukraine conflict began. Rumors swirled that he might meet Putin, but Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov flatly denied any such plans, saying it’s not their job to arrange meetings with entertainers. Ye’s European tour has been plagued by cancellations and blocked entry—including the UK, Slovakia, France, and Italy—following a barrage of controversial remarks deemed antisemitic and pro-Nazi. Even within Russia, opinions are divided; one lawmaker joked he should stick to traditional Russian music. While the concerts are on, political encounters? Forget it. The situation remains complex and unpredictable.
