Kanye West raked in MILLIONS of dollars this weekend to play a gig in ... wait for it ... waaaaait for it ... KAZAKHSTAN!!!
Very nice.
See details plus video below:
Our Central Asian sources tell us ... Kanye was invited by President
Nursultan Nazarbayev to perform at his grandson's wedding Saturday night in Almaty at the Hotel Royal Tulip.
Very nice.
We're
told Kanye was paid a hefty sum -- in the neighborhood of $3 mil -- to
perform his big hits, including "Can't Tell Me Nothing". One of the
wedding guests posted this video of KW on stage.
FYI -- Kazakhstan's prez is reportedly worth billions, and is considered
by some to be an ardent dictator who rigs elections. In 2011, Sting
backed out of a paid gig for Nazarbayev due to alleged mistreatment of
oil workers in the country.
Not so nice.
OTHER FACTS ABOUT KAZAKHSTAN:
Sacha Baron Cohen did NOT invent it for "
Borat." It was once part of the Soviet Union. Its currency is a Tenge. Oil and livestock are a pretty big deal.
