While other stars who reportedly performed for Gadhafi's family have kept mum, Furtado volunteered the information about her performance on Twitter.
"In 2007, I received 1million$ from the (Gadhafi) clan to perform a 45 min. show for guests at a hotel in Italy," she wrote on Monday. "I am going to donate the $."
Beyonce and Usher reportedly performed at a New Year's Eve party for Gadhafi's son Muatassim on the Caribbean island of St. Barts, while R&B singer Mariah Carey was hired to sing at a previous New Year's bash.

I'll be surprised if any of the other performers give the money back. They may feel as though they worked for it so their entitled to it. None of them are that deep!
Why is she giving the money back? There is just as much blood on US money as there is on Gadhafi's money. Real talk.
ha ha ha. These celebrities and their "I donated the money" bullsyt! Fact of the matter is, it wasn't a benefit concert. You accepted the money belonging to of the people of Libya's from a check written by a know supporter of terrorist activities. Lockerbie mid-air explosion anyone? They should just keep the money. Damage is done. We know they may talk a good game- but they don't care about human rights or doing the right thing.
By the way, who is going to make sure they give some or any of it back at all? Where was it donated? don't they receive a personal tax break for the donation? etc., etc., etc.
Damge control 101 but you took the money so now you want to be decent, spotlight!
Mariah is donating & contrite!
Beyonce said she gave money to Haiti a while ago, what an ignorant whore. Haiti and Libya are 2 diff places, you have so much money, give it up you ignorant self-hating B
You too Usher & others
