New dad Kanye West is clearly doing all her can to provide for new daughter North West, having recently performed an exclusive gig for the president of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev.

The rapper was reportedly paid $3million for his appearance, which has caused controversy due to President Nursultan Nazarbayev's business dealings. The politician is said to have stolen billions of dollars of cash from the country's oil funds and placed it in offshore accounts. Kazakhstan was previously the subject of Sacha Baron Cohen's Borat movie.

The Saturday night (31 August 2013) gig was reportedly for the wedding of his grandson, and US sources state that he performed tracks including 'Can't Tell Me Nothing'.
