Kanye West's Announces a Future Emigration to Russia?

In October of last year, Kayne West had changed his name. However, for clarity

the name Ye will not be used and instead his original name will be mentioned.

Main Information

News broke yesterday that Kanye West, the American-born rapper whose career has both helpings of much deserved glory, sensational infamy, genuine creativity, and everything in between, has now announced that he will be coming to Russia later in 2022 in order to not only meet with President Putin, but hold some of his first performances in the country via his Sunday Service Project (a bit cultish if you ask me), along with expanding his brand a la rap mogul Timati and his Blackstar label.

With a team comprised of Ameer Sudan, who noted Kanye's plan to make Russia his "second home," Scott Balber, Aras Agalarov, and his son Emin Agalarov, the American seems to be toying the line between self-imposed expatriotism and what's known in Russian as Продажность (Venality), the act of setting aside one's morals for financial gain. Reporting by RIA.ru notes that Kayne is looking to invite Putin to be his "special guest" at one of his Sunday Service performances, and while specifics are not supplied one could percieve that this new-found respect for the leader is but the natural outgrowth of a dying career in America ever since divorcing Kim K.

However, Kanye's cabinet is not stocked with quality people, as Billboard reporting had revealed yesterday. The Russian billionare Agalarov is a close, oligarchial friend to Putin and is associated with the Crocus Group, a leading development company in Russia founded in 1989 prior to the fall of the Soviet Union, telling you everything you need to know. Described as the "Trump of Russia," together with his son they have been involved with many high-stakes dealings with figures from Trump to Clinton. His advisor Ameer Sudan (@ BOSS777) noted that Kanye's net-worth would potentially skyrocket upon his visitation and business enterprising in the country. However, the partnership with Agalarov is not simply financial but career-oriented, a the titan's son Emin is a hopeful musician (whose son isn't at this point) and is striving to make his mark in American markets as a result of the partnership. What....a....shocker, no?

Shocking Piece of Information!

The article by Billboard, published just yesterday, mentioned something towards the end of their article which is incredibly significant and poses a great deal of room for sociological investigation. Kanye West, back in November of 2021, had compared himself to Putin ("Young Putin”) by way of their ability to curate and control societial tastes, along with the popular consciousness that fills its structure. Whether true or not, it's incredibly significant that Kanye sees himself as a bastion of cultural construction and a neo-Promethean figure bringing the fire to the primitive laymen.

Shocking News Pt.2!

A new chapter in the Kayne West-meets-Russia story was released by sources like The Rolling Stones and The Independent no sooner than 11 hours ago as of righting this post on Wednesday, January 11th. Pierre Rougier, iminent PR Consultant and Kanye's current public reprensentative, had stated that such ventures into Russia were fallacious and untrue, his exact wording being "a work of fiction of wishful thinking from these Russian people." This is fascinating from a sociocultural perspective, as well as political and Musicological perspective, as a partnership with Russia in some capacity by a seminal American rapper with Christian beliefs would potentially reorient, or in someway alter, the fabric of Russian Hip-Hop, introducing young audiences to a new aesthetic ethos into the fray of Russian popular music.
