It is not yet clear what West wants to meet with Putin about, but the rapper does plan to invite the Russian president to a performance of his Sunday Service choir as a special guest
Ameer Sudan, West’s strategic advisor, toldthat West plans to visit Moscow in the spring or summer and “will be spending a lot of time out there” and wants to make the country his “second home.”
Sudan said he is coordinating the trip with Scott Balber, a lawyer who represents billionaire developer Aras Agalarov and his son and business partner Emin, who moonlights as a musician. West, who legally changed his name to Ye in October, is working on unspecified deals with the Agalarovs, which Sudan claimed will increase the rapper’s net worth by over $10 billion—his current net worth to be $1.8 billion—and also plans to work with Emin Agalarov on new music.
It is not clear what West wants to meet with Putin about, and Sudan said the Yeezy CEO plans to invite the Russian president to a performance of his Sunday Service choir as a special guest. Sudan’s claims are “entirely fabricated” and a case of “wishful thinking from these Russian people,” though Rob Gladstone, who represents Emin Agalarov, confirmed to the outlet that talks are ongoing.
