American rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, had been hit with an unexpected roadblock for his planned concerts in St. Petersburg, Russia. Gazprom Arena, where Ye was supposed to perform, denied having ever signed a contract to host his performance.
Gazprom Arena had previously posted on social media that 'the most influential musical artist of our time' would perform at their venue on 10 and 11 October. 'This is no joke!' the post added. The event sold out quickly afterwards, with tickets priced around £1390 ($1896).
