Kanye West Reportedly Wants To Meet With Vladimir Putin, Make Russia His ‘Second Home’

 

Kanye reportedly wants to meet with Vladimir Putin, could make Russia his 'second home'

During his appearance on the "Drink Champs" podcast back in November, Kanye West — who's legally now just "Ye" — referred to himself as "Young Putin." Now, the rapper and designer is reportedly planning to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow this spring or summer.

In fact, Ye plans to make Russia "a second home" and "will be spending a lot of time out there," according to his "strategic advisor" Ameer Sudan, who recently spoke with Billboard about the rapper's travel plans. While Ye's personal spokesperson and label reps declined to comment, Ameer tells the outlet Ye is planning to perform a series of his Sunday Service shows and wants to invite Putin to be a special guest.

He's also working towards a handful of business deals with a billionaire real estate developer named Aras Agalarov and his son Emin Agalarov, who is a musician, according to Ameer.

Billboard also points out Aras has been called the Donald "Trump of Russia" because of his real estate development. That could explain Ye's interest in making the connections, given his previous on-off support of Trump's presidency.
