*The hefty paycheck singer Beyonce Knowles reportedly earned for performing at a party hosted by the son of Libyan strongman Moammar Gadhafi’s was donated to a Haiti earthquake relief fund “over a year ago,” the pop star’s publicist said today.
“All monies paid to Beyoncé for her performance at a private party at Nikki Beach St. Barts on New Year’s Eve 2009, including the commissions paid to her booking agency, were donated to the earthquake relief efforts in Haiti, over a year ago,” Beyonce spokesperson Yvette Noel-Schure said in a statement. “Once it became known that the third party promoter was linked to the [Gadhafi] family, the decision was made to put that payment to a good cause.”
