BEYONCÉ , MARIA CAREY TO DONATE MONEY FROM GADAFFI FAMILY PARTIES – international business timesFollowing Nelly Furtado's initiative, singers Beyoncé and Mariah Carey said they will each return the $1 million they received for performing for Libya dictator Moammar Gaddafi's family.
According to a report by people.com Gaddafi is currently being investigated for possible war crimes, including ordering the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 in December 1988 that killed 270 people.
Carey released a statement to People saying, "I was naïve and unaware of who I was booked to perform for. I feel horrible and embarrassed to have participated in this mess. Going forward, this is a lesion for all artists to learn from. We need to be more aware and take more responsibility regardless of who book our shows. Ultimately we as artists are to be held accountable."
