Mariah Carey has revealed she felt "horrible and embarrassed" after she was paid $1 million to sing for the son of Libya's Colonel Gaddafi. The pregnant singer gave a private performance for members of the dictator's family at a party in the Caribbean in 2006 but has vowed to be careful about who she works for in future.
"I was naive and unaware of who I was booked to perform for. I feel horrible and embarrassed to have participated in this mess," she said in a statement. "Ultimately we as artists are to be held accountable. Going forward, this is a lesson for all artists to learn from. We need to be more aware and take more responsibility regardless of who books our shows."
