Beyonce Responds To Gaddafi Performance Criticism

January 9th, 2010

beyonce-websiteBeyonce’s rep has responded to criticism that she performed on New Years Eve for a member of the Gaddafi family, who reportedly have links to terrorist activities, with her management taking responsibility for the booking.

beyonce-webA statement released by the singer’s spokesperson says:

“The party in St. Bart’s on New Year’s Eve, with Beyoncé in performance, was hosted by Muatsim-Billah Gaddafi, not his brother Moutassim Bilal “Hannibal” Gaddafi, as reported in the press.

Her agents and management firm made the decision to confirm the private performance. The annual party had a long history of booking internationally known artists both American and foreign for events around the world, including Cannes.

Past performers in St. Bart’s have included Timbaland, Enrique Iglesias and Mariah Carey. Guests at this year’s party included singer Usher, former BET CEO Bob Johnson, actress Lindsay Lohan and music industry vets, Russell Simmons, Kevin Liles and L.A. Reid.”

    The reported amount she made was 2 million to perform at some engagement the man's son was holding. According to the history of Muammar Al-Gaddafi, he was a brutal dictator, even behind some terrorist activity that has taken place in the U.S.

    Muatsim tried to overthrow his father with the help of Egypt, which was a US ally. He went back and actually started to change things within Libya. Muatsim has never been accused of any terrorism itself. No, Libya never did any terrorist actions that took place in the US. Actually, under the Bush administration, Libya has become an ally of the US and the European Union has adopted the same policy towards Libya. Both the American government and European governments have permitted and encouraged their citizens to do business with Libya. Many corporations are doing with them now. Libya is actually helping the US fight terrorism in the Middle East now.
