Rap star and former Migos member, Offset is making waves again. As Offset continues to try to make a name for himself as a solo artist, he also wants to make sure that his notoriety is on a global scale.
The “Clout,” artist recently announced that he would be doing a tour in Russia. First reported by BBC.
“Offset has announced he’ll be playing an arena gig in Russia next month,” the outlet wrote.
“The US-based rapper is set to perform at Moscow’s MTC Live Hall on 18 April, confirming the show on his Instagram.”
This news is controversial. Especially because Offset is currently under contract with Universal Music Group. The record label vowed that Russia shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2024.
“Effective immediately, we are suspending all operations in Russia and closing our offices there. We urge an end to the violence in Ukraine as soon as possible,” the label wrote.
“We are adhering to international sanctions and, along with our employees and artists, have been working with groups from a range of countries to support humanitarian relief efforts to bring urgent aid to refugees in the region.”
Offset also made headlines last month amid his pending divorce from his rap star wife, Cardi B. Offset Cardi share three kids together. And he wants to make sure that custody is shared between him and Cardi according to a report from TMZ.
“Offset is making it crystal clear he wants to end his marriage to Cardi B — and he wants to make sure they share custody of their kids,” the outlet writes.
“According to legal docs obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, Offset is requesting joint legal custody of the 3 children he shares with Cardi … although he does say Cardi’s place should be the primary residence for the kids.”
