The “Flashing Lights” hitmaker plans to reportedly expand his business ventures there, with the help of the Agalarovs, Sudan shared. He said he couldn’t disclose any other details, but that they could increase Ye’s wealth to more than $10 billion.
A description on the Agalarovs’ Crocus Group’s website said it’s responsible for over “4 million total square meters of developed property” in Russia, including department stores and shopping centers
Plans are reportedly in the works for West and Emin to also collaborate, as Agalarov’s a musician trained singer with more than a dozen albums, the report noted.
“This is Ye, Ye is going to get there regardless,” Sudan explained, when asked about how the U.S. State Department currently lists Russia with a level 4 “do not travel” advisory.
“What are they going to say?” he added. “He’s going to be a special guest of the Agalarovs. Kanye knows what’s going on more than the average human being, he’s well aware of things. And it’s nothing against the United States or to cause conflicts, but Ye is Ye — he can’t be controlled.”
