Kanye West is reportedly heading to Russia to perform a controversial gig amid fears he’s divorcing Bianca Censori.
News outlets in Russia claimed the Flashing Lights hitmaker was heading to Moscow to headline a huge concert on June 8, which will also be his 47th birthday. According to Mash Telegram, Kanye has signed a contract with organisers to stage the gig at the Russian capital’s Luzhniki Stadium, but the reports were soon shot down after reps from the stadium denied the concert was taking place.
While Kanye has yet to comment on the reports he’s heading to Russia, his fans were quick to condemn the speculation as they hit out at the controversial rapper. “smh unnecessary risks , this will further damage his image and alienate further average fans,” one wrote on a thread on Reddit. “How long you think it is before he goes to North Korea?” another joked. “Lmao imagine choosing to hang out with Putin,” one fan quipped, as one wrote: “Ye going full Steven Seagal on this one.”

Others complained that Kanye’s opinions and outspoken views were at odds with his decisions over the last few years, such as supporting former President Donald Trump, and now seemingly heading to Russia, which has been condemned by world leaders after Valdimir Putin’s troops invaded Ukraine. “Ye’s quest to not be controlled leaves him with some gaping blind spots that undermine the very points he’s trying to make,” one fan noted.

On Sunday, movers were snapped outside the home they share as they loaded a variety of items onto the back of a big truck, including a ping pong table and exercise equipment. Neither Kanye or Bianca were home when the removal van arrived, further fuelling speculation that they have split after just over two years together. Earlier this month, Bianca’s brand new Porsche, which was gifted to her by Kanye, was towed away.
Rumours surrounding their marriage come after the couple were snubbed yet again by Anna Wintour, who didn’t invite them to this year’s Met Gala. Kanye has previously attended the prestigious fashion event with ex-wife Kim Kardashian, but since his downward spiral and tying the knot with Australian architect Bianca, the rapper has failed to land an exclusive invite. Meanwhile, Kim and her extended family, including mother Kris Jenner and younger sisters Kourtney Kardashian, Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner, are regular attendees, and were snapped arriving at the lavish bash on Monday.
