Almaty. March 1. Kazakhstan Today - Singer Nelly Furtado said on Monday that she will give away $1 million she received for her concert in Italy performed for family of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, Kazakhstan Today reports.
With the current uprising in Libya against leader Muammar Gaddafi, Nelly Furtado is washing her hands clean of blood money. The Canadian songbird reveals that the dictator paid her $1 million to perform in Italy back in 2007, but she will be donating the sum to charity, www.rap-up.com. reported.
"In 2007, I received 1million$ 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.
She isn't the only artist who accepted money to perform for Gaddafi.
