What Did Mariah Carey Do With The Gaddafi Money?

What Did Mariah Carey Do With The Gaddafi Money?

Nelly Furtado and Beyonce have already announced that they have or are donating the money they received from the Gaddafi family to charity. Now, we’re wondering what Mariah Carey is doing with the money that she received for her performance?

In reference to the million that she received, she issued a statement saying, “I was naive 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 lesson for all artists to learn from. We need to be more aware and take more responsibility regardless of who books our shows. Ultimately, we as artists are to be held accountable.”

Yes, they have to be held accountable when they’re performing for tyrants! Still, that didn’t explain at all what she planned on doing with the proceeds.

After the media fuss about it, Mariah must’ve rethought the idea and has since decided to return the money. Her rep added this statement, “Mariah has and continues to donate time, money, and countless hours of personal service both here and abroad.”

I hope she does the right thing and returns the money or donates it to charity. No one needs that kind of bad publicity, right?
