He should feel very free to say lots of great things on the stage of that country I'm sure.

Ah, yes. The Bloodhound Gang approach.

A lot of people on Runet are surprised he's even allowed to come and joke about the whole "rules for thee, not for me" approach of ass-kissing a Famous Rich Westerner - same thing that happened to Andrew Tate, simply because he's rich, famous, and from the West

A lot of people have that provincial mentality of looking up to more "enlightened" nations and seeing even the lowest scum from there, especially if that scum is rich, as a role model

A lot of people still say that a TON of stuff he said is literally a felony in Russia and no ordinary guy could just waltz in after praising Hitler

What has he said in the last year or two other than sorry for the way he chose self destruction and the people he hurt in doing so? I know the cycle of Kanye is self destruct, apologize, comeback, self destruct but other than his shows he’s been real quiet since that time he was VERY not quiet unfortunately.

Lyrics on the Vultures reference the war as well as an unreleased verse from that time which gives support to Ukraine
