Offset has announced he'll be playing an arena gig in Russia next month.
The US-based rapper is set to perform at Moscow's MTC Live Hall on April 18, confirming the show on his Instagram.
Offset is signed to Motown Records, owned by Universal Music Group UMG, one of a number of labels which announced it was suspending operations in Russia, after it launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
Days after the Russian invasion, UMG released a statement saying it was "suspending all operations in Russia and closing its offices there.
A number of other labels and promoters, including Live Nation, Warner Music Group and Sony Music took similar action.
Many artists, including Green Day, Louis Tomlinson and Yungblud have cancelled planned gigs since the war started.
However some have resumed shows there, most recently rapper DaBaby - signed to Interscope, also part of UMG - who posted updates on his Instagram from his Moscow gig last week.
