AceShowbiz - Kanye West allegedly is trying to hold a live show in Russia. It has been reported that the "All of the Lights" rapper may be banned in countries across Europe if he continues with his plan to perform in the largest country in the world by area.

On Thursday, June 13, one music industry insider discussed the possibility of the 47-year-old hip-hop artist not being allowed to do concerts in European countries if he plays live to a Russian audience or the country's allies. The insider noted that "sidling up to Vladimir Putin could have huge ramifications for the future."

The industry veteran, whose clients include U2, Madonna and Beyonce Knowles, spoke to The U.S. Sun, "This idea is so desperate." On the reason why, he explained, "If he can do a show in Russia, it's over for him in many European countries."

The source reportedly claimed that Ye's team "has approached alleged pro-Putin governmental figures in Hungary and Serbia." The source stated, "If he plays in Russia, and even goes to Hungary and Serbia for some concerts, people are going to take that as a massive insult."

The informant went on to stress, "Many European countries can ban him from performing there." The informant further explained, "Kanye has to get it together and think long term because if that show happens next month, he won't be able even to enter some of the countries that have cut ties with Putin."

It was said that Ye sparked anger in Russia in May due to reports suggesting that "a deal had been agreed for [him] to play in Moscow's Luzhniki stadium." In the wake of the claim, one Putin ally expressed her opposition.

Ekaterina Mizulina, who is involved in the pro-Kremlin Safe Internet League, allegedly said, "We don't need any Kanye West with his naked woman." She was making a reference to Ye's wife Bianca Censori, who often publicly wears daring outfits.
