Singer Nelly Furtado has said that she will give away $1 million (\u00a3615,000) she was paid to perform for the family of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.<\/p>\n

The star said on Twitter she had given a private 45-minute show for Gaddafi’s “clan” in 2007 at a hotel in Italy.<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old did not say which charity she would donate the money to.<\/p>\n

Other stars including Beyonce and Usher are reportedly facing music industry calls to surrender fees earned from performing for Gaddafi’s family.<\/p>\n

Roling Stone said <\/a>the pair received an undisclosed sum for perfoming at a New Year’s Eve party on the Caribbean island of St Barts in 2009.<\/p>\n

It added Mariah Carey accepted $1 million to perform for Gaddafi’s son Muatassim the previous year, and rapper 50 Cent also gave a show for him at the 2005 Venice Film Festival.<\/p>\n

Managers for Usher, 50 Cent, Carey and Beyonce have so far declined to comment.<\/p>\n

Colonel Gaddafi has been condemned for using violence to quell a popular uprising in Libya, with the death toll from nearly two weeks of fighting estimated by diplomats to be 2,000.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
