Offset has announced an upcoming performance in Moscow, Russia scheduled for April 18, despite his label Universal Music Group's ongoing boycott of the country following the Ukraine invasion.

The rapper, signed to UMG's Motown Records, has launched a dedicated Russian tour website promoting him as "a showman who turns a concert into a theatrical performance." Ticket prices range from 5,000 to 45,000 Russian rubles (approximately $55-$490 USD).

This announcement comes after Universal Music Group, along with Sony Music, Warner Music, and Live Nation, suspended all operations in Russia in response to the invasion of Ukraine. Fellow rapper DaBaby, also signed to a UMG label, recently performed in Moscow on February 28, where local musicians welcomed him with the folk song "Valenki."

The Moscow performance is notably absent from Motown Records' official listings, and neither the label nor Offset's representatives have responded to requests for comment. Performers in Russia must exercise caution regarding local laws, as highlighted by WNBA star Brittney Griner's 10-month detention for possessing cannabis oil cartridges, which are illegal in the country.

Offset recently released a single titled "Ten" through Capitol Records on February 14. The rapper is currently finalizing his divorce from Cardi B, seeking joint custody of their three children.
