While Beyonce, Mariah Carey, Lionel Richie, and Usher are taking a verbal lashing for pocketing money after performing for relatives of Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi, Canadian singer Nelly Furtado has decided to donate the money she made performing at a party in Italy four years ago to charity.
“In 2007, I received 1million$ from the Qaddafi clan to perform a 45 min. Show for guests at a hotel in Italy. I am going to donate the $,” shared Nelly.
Glad to see nelly taking a political stand and putting the money she makes to good use. She could have stayed quiet or act dumb like Beyonce and put the blame on one of her minions, but glad that Nelly - who has always been politically conscious in her music put her money where her mouth is. At the end of the day all money ain't good money and it would be nice if other artists did the same. Unfortunately I think MiMi spent all her Gaddafi money on her Hello Kitty collection and the twins's nursery. Nelly's new album The Best of Nelly Furtado is in stores now and her forthcoming album Lifestyles will be out later this year.
