Little Nelly Furtado is Growing up

[sleazure]

A few years ago, the Qadafi family paid her a boatload of money to perform. She recently used the money to make an enormous charitable donation. It will help a lot of people in the 3rd world.

Here's her post on the subject from the Huff.

Old news. Nelly was criticized about taking this fee a year ago.
Nice to see she has found a charity for it.
(She must have a new CD soon to drop)

Old news, recent donation, new post. She only announced the details last week.

What really impressed me was that her piece was so interesting, sensitive and well-written. Way better than I would have expected from a former poptart.

Little Nelly Furtado is not looking so little these days.
She is growing, and not just up. :Eek:

So she has to give away the money she rightfully earned from Gaddafi
as part of growing up. What does people like Tony Blair have to give back
to atone for his friendship with the colonel?

She hasn't been little for a long time, she's mid thirties. It was a nicely written piece, but like pop music it's probably safe to assume it was composed by a team.

A bunch of artists ended up donating their fee this year after it went public they performed for the Ghadafi family for a million bucks each years back (Furtado, Beyonce, Usher, 50 cent, Carey).

Such cynicism!

I suppose that if she can afford to give $1M to charity, she'll have some good publicists working for her.

It was almost a year ago when I first heard of this also. I recall a few other artists following suit.

She grew up in this video I thought.

Damage control. Ghadafi was always known as a cunt.
