Human Right groups critcize Kanye west’s three million dollar performance


Kanye West’s recent performance in Kazakhstan for the president’s grandson has beeen criticized by human rights groups. They say yeezy legitimizes the human rights violations by playing a private gig at the wedding of the grandson of Kazakhstan’s president Nursultan Nazarbayev last week. HRF president Thor Halvorssen says in a statement that Kazakhstan is a “human rights wasteland,” where entertainers like West would be
imprisoned for expressing their views. “The regime crushes freedom of speech and association; someone like Kanye, who makes a living expressing his views, would find himself in a prison under Nazarbayev’s rule,” the statement says. Kanye west who was reportedly paid a whooping three million dollars for the gig is yet to respond to the criticisms.
