Has Kanye West flown to Moscow? Russian media claims star has arrived for private visit in what would be massive propaganda coup for Vladimir Putin [Video]

Russian media claims that Kanye West has arrived in Moscow. If true, the US rapper’s presence in the city would be a propaganda coup for dictator Vladimir Putin.

Most Western stars have shunned Moscow – once a money-spinning venue for performers – since the start of Russia‘s war against Ukraine two years ago.

Footage allegedly shows West in the Moscow subway, with the Moskvichka showbiz outlet claiming the reason for his visit was to mark the birthday of Russian designer Gosha Rubchinsky, and not for a concert.

Other videos allegedly showed him at a five star hotel close to the Kremlin, following a reported arrival by private plane. West reportedly saw the Kremlin and Red Square from a viewing platform on the roof of GUM department store.

It was later reported that Kanye West was staying in the £10,150 a night presidential suite of the Four Seasons Hotel Moscow, which has an astonishing view of St Basil’s Cathedral.
