Kanye is reported by TMZ to have performed a selection of his hits including Can't Tell Me Nothing in a wedding ceremony in Kazakhstan.
It said
West found himself embroiled in controversy after he raked in a reported $3M to
perform at the wedding of favourite grandson of Kazakh dictator Nursultan
Nazarbayev.

The problem however is President Nazarbayev,
who is reportedly worth billions, is a controversial figure and has been at the
centre of claims of violating human rights and corruption.
Singer Sting previously refused a
similar invitation because of his record on human rights.
Nazarbayev - widely criticised for human rights abuses
and rigging elections - employs Tony Blair as an advisor in an £8 million
a year consultancy deal.
Should Kanye be held politically accountable for using his talent and should artistes become embroiled in political maneuvering? FIFA isn't.
