Nelly Furtado Donates One Million Dollors
To many times we’ve heard about how rock stars want to save the world, they organise some sort of charity event, stick themselves on the top of the bill and shout horrah because the ticket sale donated to charity raise about a tenth of the extra personal wealth they managed on the last album. Bono is my favourite Idiot quilty of this. I never forget the time he demanded to have a hat flown to him half way across Europe, costing thousands of pound and chucking tonnes of aviation fumes into the atmosphere, because he couldn’t sing without it. This was a concert to help raise awareness about the environment by the way. God I hate Bono so much.
Members of the music industry are calling on Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, Usher and 50 Cent to donate to charity the money they had made by performing private gigs for family members of Libyan dictator Muammar el-Qaddafi. So far none of them have commented on the matter, but earlier today Nelly Furtado tweeted that that she played a show for the Qaddafi family four years ago – and she’s going to give the money to charity.
“In 2007, I received 1million$ from the Qaddafi clan to perform a 45 min. Show for guests at a hotel in Italy,” she Tweeted. “I am going to donate the $.”
And she actually did, finally a pop star that came good and did what we expected. Lets hope more follow suite.
