“The war in Ukraine has been going on for more than two weeks and there are tens of millions of Russians who strongly disagree with this war. And I think we need to talk about it as loud as possible. Therefore, I am announcing a series of my charity concerts, which will be called Russians against war, abbreviated RAW. It is impossible to hold an anti-war concert in Russia now, because, as insane as it may sound, everything anti-war is banned, total censorship has been imposed, and anyone who opposes the war is potentially facing criminal prosecution. Therefore, the first concert in this series will be held on March 15 in Istanbul, where there are now a lot of Russians, “said the rapper.
He also added that the concert will be broadcast on Instagram, Twitch and YouTube in parallel.
“This war has already become a humanitarian catastrophe, because residential neighborhoods are being bombed, because there are already more than two million refugees from Ukraine, and, of course, my team and I want to help in some way,” Oxxxymiron added.
