On social networks, internet users ask the rapper for concerts in their cities or simply invite him to visit and promise a warm welcome.
On the popular Russian service Avito, the most cunning "entrepreneurs" started selling tickets for the rapper's "concert" at Luzhniki Stadium. Avito representatives stated that they blocked five such ads for attempting to sell a product that doesn't exist.
The rapper left Russia
The REN TV channel published a photo of Ye's boarding pass for a Turkish Airlines flight to Istanbul on their Telegram channel, which departed on the night of July 1. It is said that after visiting Istanbul, Ye will go to Berlin.
