Kanye's Manager Bu Thiam Endorses His Upcoming Putin Visit To Russia

At its core, Kanye West's Sunday Service has always been aimed at being a wholesome, religious experience for Ye's choir to gather and transform some of his hits into gospel anthems. However, at times, Sunday Service has mostly been best at creating headlines.

But, when Kanye's manager Bu Thiam was interviewed today by TMZ, he fully endorsed Ye's Russia trip: "Listen man, that's King Ye. Why Not?"

When discussing if Kanye should be going or not because of Putin's controversial reputation, Bu doubled down: "I love that dude. He's a leader. Sometimes he has to make tough decisions. Unfortunately in America, you hate everybody that's not American. He's a strong man. In his country he's loved."

Ye plans to set up camp in Russia to have another home he can frequent, much like his Wyoming residency. West and Putin will have "business-related" meetings, and Kanye hopes to make music with EMIN, a Russian music artist who hopes to achieve success in America. EMIN is the son of powerful Russian real estate entrepreneur Aras Agalarov.

Check out what Bu about Kanye's Russian trip had to say below.
