NEW YORK, July 1 (UPI) -- Jennifer Lopez's publicist says the U.S. pop star sang to Turkmenistan President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow at an event that wasn't "political in nature."
The former "American Idol" judge came under fire for singing "Happy Birthday" to Berdimuhamedow -- who has been accused of human-rights violations -- in Turkmenistan Saturday night.
