Nelly Furtado has tweeted about a concert that she had performed in Italy for Gaddafi‘s “clan” in which she made a million dollars. She said the leader gave her a million American dollars to perform a 45 minute set. Now, she is ashamed of this “blood money” that she made in 2007 and wants to donate it to charity.
