Lil Pump (Gazzy Fabio Garcia) is an American rapper and producer. He gained worldwide popularity in 2017 thanks to the single "Gucci Gang". Born on August 17, 2000, in Miami, Florida, USA, he rose to prominence as one of the most visible representatives of late 2010s "SoundCloud rap".
Lil Pump visited Moscow for a concert in 2017 at the peak of his popularity. The rapper also planned performances in Kyiv and Odesa. However, those performances did not take place due to the COVID-19 pandemic and global lockdowns.
Lil Pump's stance on the war in Ukraine
Following the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Lil Pump ignored the international cultural and economic boycott of Russia. The artist chose not to make any public statements regarding the hostilities, yet continued to actively collaborate with the Russian entertainment industry for financial gain.
Concerts in Russia
In June 2025, the rapper flew to Moscow to take part in a concert. According to the organizers, Gazzy Garcia initially showed extreme loyalty toward the visit: upon learning about the opportunity to perform, he was "all for it with both hands and feet," because he loves the local audience very much. Immediately upon arrival at the capital's airport, the artist openly demonstrated his sympathies:
I love Russians», — stated Lil Pump in a video recorded at the airport
During this visit, the performer actively shared on his social media accounts photos with the Russian flag, wearing an ushanka hat, and shots against the backdrop of the "Moscow City" business center.
In June 2026, it was announced that Lil Pump planned another visit to Moscow. Force Events announced his first major solo concert in the Russian Federation, scheduled for August 22, 2026, at the VK Stadium venue.
Collaborative track with MARGO
The rapper recorded a collaborative track "Kukareku" with Russian singer MARGO (Margarita Ovsyannikova), who supports the Russian aggression against Ukraine. As part of this collaboration, the American starred in a music video and promoted the song on Russian streaming platforms.
Declaration of love for Putin
In August 2026, following another concert in Russia, Lil Pump stated that he loves Putin. Responding to a journalist's question about a potential meeting with the Russian president, the artist said bluntly: «I love Putin».
While Ukraine continues to suffer brutal Russian shelling, and many Western artists refused to perform in the Russian Federation after 2022, Lil Pump actively collaborates with the Russian market, declaring love for the terrorist state and its president.
