Offset Announces Concert in Russia Despite His Label’s Ongoing Boycott

Offset has announced an arena show in Moscow next month even though his label suspended operations there in 2022.

His concert will oppose an ongoing boycott of Russia by his label Universal Music Group, which suspended operations in the country following the invasion of Ukraine in 2022. “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.” In a since-deleted post on X from earlier this week, he called Elon Musk a “racist bitch” for entertaining the idea of pardoning Derek Chauvin, the police officer who was convicted of murdering George Floyd in 2020.
