Russian state media on Sunday claimed that Kanye West (who also goes by "Ye") was visiting Moscow. If true, the trip would make West the first major American celebrity to visit Russia since the Kremlin began its invasion of Ukraine in 2022, per CNN.
CNN reported that the brand team Gosha Rubchinskiy — who serves as head of design for West's brand, Yeezy — indicated that West had arrived in the capital as part of a private list. Other reports from Russian state media alleged that West had posted on the Russian social media website VK, and was captured on video with his security guards in Moscow.
