In the midst of the political upheaval in Libya, celebs such as Beyonce, Usher, Mariah Carey and Nelly Furtado have been under major scrutiny for performing for the leader in the past, some for up to $2 million.
Singer Nelly Furtado tweeted on Tuesday that she is planning on donating the $1 million she received in 2007 to charity, and there has been a public outcry for the other entertainers to follow in her footsteps.
Beyonce’s spokesperson, Yvette Noel-Schure, made this statement on behalf of the pop star:
“All monies paid to Beyonce for her performance at a private party at Nikki Beach St. Barts on New Year’s Eve 2009, including the commissions paid to her booking agency, were donated to the earthquake relief efforts in Haiti, over a year ago. Once it became known that the third party promoter was linked to the Qaddafi family, the decision was made to put that payment to a good cause.”
Both Furtado and Beyonce are the only celebs that have made any statements regarding the performances. Calls to the other performers haven’t been returned.

Canadian singer Nelly Furtado has ruled out any more collaborations with producer Timbaland – because she wants to become a country star.
The Maneater hitmaker has teamed up with singer Keith Urban to help her create a country sound to an old track.
She says, “I love country. I have always thought that the song In God’s Hands needed a country singer on it and Keith was my first choice. He’s right on the border of country, roots and pop. He really defies description and those are my favorite kinds of artists.”
