OREANDA-NEWS  800 thousand rubles were spent on the protection of American rapper Kanye West during his arrival in Moscow. 

To walk around the capital, the musician hired armed fighters with experience working in hot spots. Two people guarded the room around the clock, and several more accompanied the rapper on the street. At the same time, native English speakers were among the guards.

West's team decided not to bring their guards to Russia, as the contractor needed employees with knowledge of the laws and mentality of another country. Premium-class security requested about 400 thousand rubles per day from the rapper.

Kanye West arrived in Russia on June 30. According to unconfirmed information, the musician came to the 40th anniversary of designer Gosha Rubchinsky, who is the creative director of his brand Yeezy. The concert agency TCI stated that the artist's performances in Russia were not discussed or planned.
