Huge crowds were seen gathered behind a barrier outside the Four Seasons Hotel in central Moscow on Sunday, hoping to catch a glimpse of American rapper Kanye West, who is believed to be staying in the Russian capital.
One fan said he had admired West's work for several years and was hoping to get an autograph.
"A global star came to our vast country. As his fan, I took all the merch, put it on <…> it's all his work. I came just to see him, at least," he added.
A second fan said she would like to attend the rapper's concert in Moscow.
"I also hope that Kanye came to see the concert grounds. I was travelling by bus, saw a crowd and decided to try my luck. I've been waiting for two hours. Of course, I want to say many things, but even just to see him would be a real happiness for me," she explained.
Music producer Yana Rudkovskaya announced on her Telegram channel on Sunday that West, also known as 'Ye' had arrived in the Russian capital and was staying in a hotel in the city centre.
"Kanye West is already in Moscow! This is super news! He stayed in the very heart of the capital," Rudkovskaya said.
The musician reportedly made the trip to mark his friend, Russian Fashion Designer Gosha Rubchinskiy's 40th birthday. The designer has been the creative director of West's Yeezy brand since December 2023.
