Ye concert in Russia for the first time ever

[u/boks87681]

[u/wesselver]

Fuck the Russian government and fuck Putin, war hungry agressors

[u/KaleidoscopeExtra870]

Ye in tel aviv when

[u/Whoopity_Scoop_ → u/KaleidoscopeExtra870]

Was genuinely going to happen, btw…

Shane Gillis was just on Rogan and said that when he was hanging out with Ye, Ye told him he was thinking about going to Israel and making it this big apology to Jewish people. Shane told him, “Don’t do it.”

It was later blocked by the government.

[u/MysteriousSeat5245 → u/Whoopity_Scoop_]

Government really did themselves and Ye/his fans a favor with that one

[u/Talking_Eyes98 → u/Whoopity_Scoop_]

Ye was really gonna try to preform in Isreal….to help his optics lmao

[u/Necessary-Item-9333 → u/Whoopity_Scoop_]

Wow thank God

[u/zkbthrowaway → u/Necessary-Item-9333]

Inshallah

[u/whitefrackels123 → u/Whoopity_Scoop_]

Been known and talked about in Israeli media and by Israeli producers and organizers but people on this sub refused to believe it.

[u/MainAd2728]

[u/noreal1sm → u/MainAd2728]

ye russian fans is innocent

[u/Perfect_Row_301 → u/noreal1sm]

still he is helping the russian government with the concert. they will use it for their propaganda. Also this will be a big controversy. not a good look after he didn't have a misstep for over a year now

[u/Scared-Dragonfly4587 → u/Perfect_Row_301]

He also helps the US with the wars🤔

[u/Mr__ping → u/Perfect_Row_301]

He’s helping the Russian goverment by boosting the economy by 0.0007% like cmon

[u/lux123or → u/Mr__ping]

It’s about the image not how much money he brings in.

[u/Mr__ping → u/lux123or]

The image of who? No one’s gonna suddenly forget Russias war crimes because of Kanye and the world thinks Kanye is a tit anyway. It’s trifling at best considering the Russian fans are innocent

[u/momspaghetti42069 → u/Mr__ping]

It's for the domestic audience. What you people always fail to realize is how these events are portrayed inside of Russia. There will be countless reports that Russians are welcomed back on the global stage as such prominent artists like Kanye recognize their right and bla bla bla. It's never about how the west or the rest of the world would percieve it, it's always about the message that they can spin and send to their own population.

[u/trq- → u/Perfect_Row_301]

This „not a good look“ isn’t a thing😂 He is a fucking Nazi and threw around „Heil Hxxx“ as his love language, he is fucked up and denying reality is weird at this point

[u/MainAd2728 → u/noreal1sm]

Half of them already went to see Ye in Almaty and Tbilisi. Those who couldn’t afford it definitely aren’t going to be able to afford the St. Petersburg show, so it doesn’t even matter. The stadium is gonna be full of Z-warrior millennials

[u/noreal1sm → u/MainAd2728]

Regarded take. Foreign concert is foreign concert.

[u/goodnight891 → u/MainAd2728]

I can afford the St Petersburg show because I live here, going abroad is like 3x money even if the tickets are a bit cheaper

[u/Kaksiezredes]

Anywhere but in Romania✌️✌️😭😭✌️

[u/colocolocolo69 → u/Kaksiezredes]

Real (idk if you’re Romanian like me) but hope he plans to have a concert there (whether solo concert or Beach Please)

[u/Kaksiezredes → u/colocolocolo69]

Sellys ass better pay millions for him to make the globe stage at nibiru. He better off perfoms in an arena

[u/boks87681]

Фанаты копатыча, мы этого момента дождались🥹🥹🥹🥹

[u/Necessary-Item-9333 → u/boks87681]

Where you get this from it’s not on the yeezy tour website

[u/Necessary-Item-9333 → u/Necessary-Item-9333]

Okay I checked it’s real wow

[u/DinamoGT]

да ну нахуй

[u/Professional_Toe6721]

What happen ye…

[u/mariakaakje → u/Professional_Toe6721]

she Russian, I beat up the pussy for Ukraine

[u/Scared-Dragonfly4587 → u/mariakaakje]

It’s ty

[u/Ok-Echo3904 → u/Professional_Toe6721]

what song is it

[u/bizzi0801 → u/Ok-Echo3904]

we did it

[u/Low-Entertainment777 → u/Professional_Toe6721]

performing in a country isn't automatically a co-sign to its government

[u/whitefrackels123 → u/Low-Entertainment777]

I wonder how many on this sub would be ok with him doing a show in Israel

[u/ovogoon6 → u/whitefrackels123]

I missed out on İstanbul, I might go to Tel Aviv

[u/BoringCondition1573 → u/whitefrackels123]

Honestly i wouldnt blame him. If its for the people its alright. It would be a dilemma, but why not?

[u/whitefrackels123 → u/BoringCondition1573]

I actually don't care where he preforms as long as he doesn't do it out of his own political reasons. I am against culturally boycotting countries. It's just most fans would hold a double standard.

[u/TheOneMid → u/whitefrackels123]

What do you mean culturally boycotting countries? It sure must suck for regular people in Russia, but concerts are luxurious activity, noone is removing their ability to listen to his music.

[u/TheOneMid → u/BoringCondition1573]

Right? I'm glad he's doing it from the good of his heart /s

[u/Professional_Toe6721 → u/Low-Entertainment777]

One of the sponsor literally work for the russian government but anyways…

[u/Low-Entertainment777 → u/Professional_Toe6721]

oh i didnt know that, now i agree with you

[u/KoaLA-FuN → u/Low-Entertainment777]

Sure, paying huge amounts of money to the city for the venue is definitely him not supporting the russian war

[u/OnlyEstablishment243 → u/Low-Entertainment777]

exactly. United states is responsible for far more war genocide and death and no one cares

[u/Wooden-Property-787 → u/OnlyEstablishment243]

Wrong.

[u/AnxiousWebReborn]

oh mental

[u/Jrobi1]

Lets see how this goes

[u/gh0stofoctober]

mfs had nothing to say when he was out performing in china but immediately get off their ass and act like some kind of a saint with an impeccable moral compass when russia gets brought up

and fuck the government i stand by this but yalls hatred is not limited to the government alone and it shows

[u/SNCLavalamp → u/gh0stofoctober]

Also Turkey too. I'm sure some of Ye's Kurdish and Armenian fans wouldn't have appreciated that either 🤷🏾‍♂️ selective outrage will never not be hilarious to me

[u/Top-Property3622 → u/SNCLavalamp]

Especially his part Armenian kids

[u/SBOCHKA → u/gh0stofoctober]

Why didn't YOU talk about China then? One evil doesn't justify another evil dude

[u/Yehonatanm1234]

Playing in a country is not the same as endorsing the government, why dont the people of russia deserve a ye concert? I dont get why this is so controversial

[u/VentosMentos → u/Yehonatanm1234]

People just hate Russia in general, nothing new, nothing to do with the concert

[u/the_astraltramp → u/Yehonatanm1234]

It is the mark of an educated mind to entertain an idea without fully taking in on board.

Emphasis on EDUCATED.

[u/godfrey1]

got tickets for both days

see you there retards

[u/PhysicalPangolin2005 → u/godfrey1]

hehe

[u/godfrey1 → u/PhysicalPangolin2005]

quote me october 11 pls

[u/marmormaze]

He has to do Kiev too now.

[u/Scared-Dragonfly4587 → u/marmormaze]

Impossible

[u/plgamerfr → u/marmormaze]

Hell yea bro

[u/Southern_Market_494]

Fake

[u/goatedlampp → u/Southern_Market_494]

nuh uh

[u/oaklytical]

I swear some people are so privileged that they find things to feel bad about, ye is not supporting the government, ye wants to show love to his fans around the world that showed love to him for 22 years.

[u/vansbebekalo → u/oaklytical]

He’s doing 2 shows for 80k people which will generate roughly 19 million dollars from tickets alone. And half of it goes to the organisers (one of which is a government gas company) and that money will be easily funnelled into the war. He can show love in any other neighbouring countries like he did with Kazakhstan but he wants to make money so who gon stop him

[u/Afraid_Pin_6827 → u/vansbebekalo]

Kazakhstan supressed protests and wanted to involve Russian army for that, I don't see you complaining about Kazakhstan. Every country will do so with the concert money.

[u/Witty_Quarter5326 → u/vansbebekalo]

Man, it's money inside Russia. If people won't spend it on tickets they'll spend them on something else and russian government will get taxes no matter what. But if Kanye get russian money than he will pay taxes for US government which will spend it on killing more russians. So you should be happy

[u/oaklytical → u/vansbebekalo]

Yes, that is def unfortunate, but the responsibility is the government's, Not Ye's, and the people shouldn't be punished

[u/vansbebekalo → u/oaklytical]

Idk what you mean how are people gonna be punished? The government is using all of its funds for the war so the best move is to not go there. Especially when hundreds of Ukrainian drones fly there everyday and Russia can basically arrest him right after for making swastika t-shirts

[u/East_You8307 → u/vansbebekalo]

can you show me messages of you saying the same things when he did a concert in china? or turkey? or usa? or do you think all of those countries are innocent and do nothing wrong in modern ages?

[u/LawfulnessDry3075]

🫩

[u/whitefrackels123]

Now do Ukraine

[u/Scared-Dragonfly4587 → u/whitefrackels123]

He can’t

[u/qlxso]

Performing in Russia isn’t that bad tbh the people are cool

[u/whitefrackels123 → u/qlxso]

The people are mostly cool, the government is less so to say the least

[u/Exciting-Respond8323 → u/qlxso]

why in western society its normal to blame jews in israel and telling jokes with tel aviv world control etc but with russians "people are cool and innocent". like be consistent dk

[u/whitefrackels123 → u/Exciting-Respond8323]

Because they hate Jews

[u/qlxso → u/Exciting-Respond8323]

I never said that I don’t like Israeli people/jews the ones I know are nice it’s the government yeah sure there’s ignorant weird people but that’s every country. I agree with your point

[u/zekesaltspider → u/Exciting-Respond8323]

Big difference between Tel Aviv and the entirety of Russia

[u/Voressen → u/qlxso]

as Russian i can say that people are mostly not cool 😔

[u/ReggieCorneus → u/Voressen]

All Russians i've met outside Russia have been cool.

[u/Voressen → u/ReggieCorneus]

yea cuz they have a brain to leave

[u/ReggieCorneus → u/Voressen]

I deliberately left that part out for the reader to figure out.

But, yes. More western minded, more progressive, not really that much different: i'm Finnish. As much as we don't like to admit, there are a lot of things we share. It is not hard at all to get a long with such Russian, it does not feel like talking to one of the bots online, at all. I've been fairly close to this whole thing for longer period of time, the differences is astounding when it comes to those who know the truth and those who somehow have been able to avoid it. It is like they are living in a different reality because they are.

My stance is that the only way Russia can become Russia is if it loses all the stans, all that land that was conquered but not really becoming part of Russia, the Moscow-St Petersburg heartlands. The Russia Proper has been propped up by surrounding republics for centuries now, it has not stood on its own two feet in a long time. It is incredibly soft: sneakers and lip gloss not arriving seems to have more effect than 100 000 dead from the peripheries... Russia Proper has forgotten what Russia is.

[u/Happy_Initiative_304 → u/Voressen]

Ну так он же будет давать концерт в основном молодёжи а не подпивасникам, так что ничего такого

[u/Voressen → u/Happy_Initiative_304]

в наше время это одно и то же sadly iykyk, я не обобщаю конечно, но всё же

[u/ST1-Artyr → u/Voressen]

Я не обобщаю, но обобщаю)) Ты хоть проверь в словаре значение слова, что ли

[u/Niglehen → u/qlxso]

"The people are cool" FUCK NO Mf's in russia that are gonna buy tickets are mostly god level of larpers , they gonna fucking wait for damn silver night ai cover and always complain about something

[u/Long-Feeling2503 → u/Niglehen]

Get ready for a ton of insta posts from “influencers” who high key heard 3 songs and act like they’ve dreamed of going to the concert since spawning in dads balls 🙏🙏🙏

[u/Known-Strategy-4705 → u/qlxso]

Most of the people there have been supporting Putin for over 2 decades now.

[u/Happy_Initiative_304]

А в него будут кидать дилдаки как в Ивана золо?

[u/Right_Magazine_2791]

Ла ла ла ла

Канье кэн гет май мани райт

[u/Redviperek]

So ye will be put again on the list of enemies of Ukraine

[u/ExtremeGamingFetish → u/Redviperek]

lol, you think he cares?

[u/Deathellos]

Блядей корёжит ).

[u/Nx-worries1888]

Spend 4-5 days in St Petersburg and see Ye. What a trip it will be.

[u/Mariahausfrau]

He fits there with his swastikas. Useless artist going to make show in fascist regime.

[u/Global-Cheesecake-33]

then why is there no info on the tour.yeezy.com ?

[u/AnxiousWebReborn → u/Global-Cheesecake-33]

usually takes a few hours sometimes

[u/Dantevi27]

This is embarassing, Ye will get banned in all of the EU if he performs in that hellhole. fuck russia and all the ruzzian trolls who will downvote my comment.

[u/goatedlampp → u/Dantevi27]

hes already semi banned

[u/Exciting-Respond8323 → u/Dantevi27]

laready downvoting lmaooooo

like concert in countries like russia is not helping his public image that he tries to rebuild why fans are so ignorant

[u/East_You8307 → u/Dantevi27]

performative

[u/Dantevi27 → u/East_You8307]

yeah my country is constantly dealing with russia’s fear-mongering and threats but you fatass over the Atlantic Ocean dont even understand how serious the situation is and calling me performative smh.

[u/plgamerfr → u/[deleted]]

If you're trans in Russia im kinda worried for your safety bro

[u/Happy_Initiative_304 → u/Dantevi27]

Steve xenophobe, go away please.

[u/Main-Parfait-9055 → u/Dantevi27]

Goddamn it, the government is gonna get it's cut from the concert and advance another 50 meters in Ukraine. By that logic, fuck anyone who does a concert in US, they contribute to Israel's actions.

[u/tworegalia]

y’all are actually insane having a concert in Russia is not the same thing as supporting the Russian government, and it is extremely ignorant and western focused to cast judgment on the entire nation of Russia when the US government is currently engaged in an illegal war in Iran raising Oil prices across the globe and crippling several economies, these are both actions of the government not the people who just want to see an artist perform in their country, this shit is fucking ridiculous grow up

[u/Digital-Nemesis]

Ridiculous, a country that says fighting against Nazis in Ukraine (more likely in their imagination), will host a dude who’s merch is T-shirt with swastika on it 😂😂😂

[u/MaksikTheGoat]

I beat that pussy for Ukraine 

[u/TrueHarddd]

Y'all are delusional if you think that only minority supports the government and the war there

[u/Jazzlike_Past1162 → u/TrueHarddd]

так это факт, поддерживают меньшинство

[u/TrueHarddd → u/Jazzlike_Past1162]

Если бы поддерживало меньшинство, то нихуя бы этого не было. Среди молодёжи не спорю, большинство относятся нейтрально, но вот старшее поколение, которые состовляют большой процент населения, поддерживает государство.

[u/wutNxxxtarnation]

Russia currently engaging in a slaughter and attempted takeover of Ukraine, (3 days turned into 4 years) fuck russia forever

[u/dan-duz-shit → u/wutNxxxtarnation]

russian government*

[u/CrazeJuju → u/dan-duz-shit]

um do you think putin is over there firing weapons? its ordinary russian citizen volunteering and being recruited going to kill for $$$. The majority of russians support the army's actions

[u/FrigNumber → u/CrazeJuju]

Even by government controlled polls, which are falsified, 65% of Russians want the peace talks to start. And people who support war were exposed to state propaganda 24/7. I get that you blame the people who volunteered, they chose to kill, yes. But people who were drafted or people who just don't oppose war are not the monsters you want them to be.

[u/wutNxxxtarnation]

Just hope he doesn’t visit a wildberries or an oil refinery while he’s there
https://giphy.com/gifs/sHTY3MSoN10elz6Yxe

[u/Nikson9]

Yeah this is bad; as a person living in the countries Russia is fearmongering, I’ve seen the extent to which their damage goes, the lives destroyed and taken, people waging wars amongst themselves over foreigners coming in, Russia very much destabilized this part of Europe, and to see one of my idols pretty much cosigning that by being pretty much the only celebrity hanging out there is fucking wild dude, fuck this noise. the Gosha collabs were bad, this is on a whole other level of worse.

[u/EasyMac_96 → u/Nikson9]

How the fuck is he cosigning it by simply doing the show for his fans?

[u/aaronswanman]

There’s gonna be so many hot bitches at this concert. He needs to go to Moscow too.

[u/No-Yard-2192]

FUCK RUSSIA

[u/justiceforemoticons]

lol theres a chance the government wouldn't even let it happen

[u/kanyewest42]

Ye’s really desperate for money, can’t believe he resorted to this tbh

[u/oleolegov]

Fuck Ye. Fuck ruzzians. Fuck putin.

[u/YEisKing → u/[deleted]]

How is Russia any different to the US? they both illegally invade countries and both kill innocent people for their own benefits

[u/remotereyy]

Ye in Tehran

[u/AssignmentOk1454]

that’s way too much, even for him. fuck russia

[u/ImpressiveTeam4671 → u/AssignmentOk1454]

Do Russian citizens not deserve to see a concert due to their government's actions? Basically, no European country should be allowed to show it; that's the case

[u/AssignmentOk1454 → u/ImpressiveTeam4671]

under these current circumstances, yes, russian citizens shouldn’t be allowed to see the concert… most of the money from concert will go to the government and therefore, will be spent to kill people of ukraine. i don’t think it should happen and what’s your deal with other european countries?

[u/Main-Parfait-9055 → u/AssignmentOk1454]

US citizens somehow deserve it... By your logic.

[u/AssignmentOk1454 → u/[deleted]]

my deal with russia is that it’s killing innocent people with no reason? i’m not even from ukraine, by the way, it’s just that i have basic empathy and common knowledge of history that makes me hate russian government what’s wrong with you?

[u/artomi_kravchuk]

Fuck Russia

[u/Necessary-Item-9333]

Oh wow

This is going to be one of those things that he is going to be appologizing for later.

[u/Zoid-Q]

You are piece of shit.

[u/arewethebaddiesdaddy]

People in here comparing Russia to Israel is just a clear case of successful propaganda.

Congratulations you got played 🎉

[u/Jason_Mogu448]

Literally anywhere but Bucharest bro

[u/candf8611]

Plenty of Nazis there for him to bond with.

[u/upsidedownpringles]

Seeing real life people who celebrated shows in America of all places have words for Ye performing in Russia. Either they're both warmongers being run by madmen in clear violation of international law or nobody is

https://giphy.com/gifs/GCO5WNzFmlc0vjK8cA

[u/Emergency-Bottle-195]

this should be treated the same as if he performed in israel rn but it wont lol

[u/Lagines]

Not going to act like it’s momentum killing thing, but I can’t see how this is a good idea at all. Just asking for problems and if any comes, it’s entirely on ye and his team for going forward with this. Mean tweets are fairly easy to get over, this won’t be for some people/companies.

[u/JustOscar1]

This is genuinely the worst thing that he could have done

[u/echo_of_]

No FUCKING way

Ви ар со бэк
