Diva Mariah Carey was criticized for accepting $1 million to perform for Santos in 2013. She also participated to a New Years Eve party organized by the son of Libya&#8217;s late leader, Muammar Gaddafi, in 2009 along with fellow celebrities such as Jay Z, Lindsay Lohan, Beyonc\u00e9 and Usher. Beyonc\u00e9 and Usher chose to donate their fees to human rights organizations.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tonal__standfirst u-cf\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_12712\"
