Offset Announces Moscow Concert Despite Label's Russia Boycott

The rapper plans to perform in Moscow next month, defying Universal Music Group's 2022 suspension of operations in Russia over the Ukraine invasion.

Offset, a former member of the rap group Migos, announced an April 18 concert at Moscow's MTC Live Hall via Instagram.
The performance goes against Universal Music Group's 2022 decision to cease operations in Russia following the country's invasion of Ukraine.
Universal Music Group previously stated its commitment to adhering to international sanctions and supporting humanitarian relief efforts for Ukraine.
Offset's representatives and label have not issued a statement addressing the concert announcement or its alignment with the label's policies.
This development comes as U.S.-Russia relations shift under President Donald Trump's second term, raising questions about cultural and political implications.
