What's with the toy store kiddie bling, Kanye?

Kanye West prides himself on being the only non-bling rapper and last night he definitely lived up to his reputation by sporting a watch more akin to a three-year-old.

While the likes of P Diddy and 50 Cent flash diamond-encrusted Breitling timepieces, Kanye opted for the toy shop version, teaming it with a colourful, if rather odd chain.

The 30-year-old performed a secret gig at London's Westminster's Central Hall to launch the Vodafone Live Music Awards.

After his slightly below par appearance, he went off to Mahiki in the capital's exclusive Mayfair.

Celebrities in the exclusive audience included X-Factor winner Leona Lewis and a hop-a-long Rhianna - still sporting a poorly foot.

Despite the injury, the singer was still partying at Stringfellows until 4.30am with Kanye.

Despite a sore foot, Rhianna (right) still managed to attend Kanye's afterparty. Other guests included X Factor winner Leona Lewis (right)
