R&B crooner Usher (pictured above) is the most recent A-lister celeb who is hanging his head low after learning that he accepted “blood monies” from Libyan terrorist dictator Muammar Abu Minyar el-Qaddafi (pictured below middle).
Usher released a statement on Friday, saying that although he was paid for only appearing at Beyoncé ‘s 2009 St. Bart’s concert, he is “sincerely troubled” and will donate monies to human rights organizations:
“I will be donating all of my personal proceeds from that event to various human rights organizations,” he said in a statement released to the Associated Press.
The statement also said Usher made a contribution Friday to Amnesty International, which the organization confirmed. Now, as far as how much Usher donated, according to the group, the performer requested the donation amount be kept private.
The singer is not the only performer who has decided to take their Qaddafi earnings and re-gift it to some humanitarian charity.
