PrintBeyonce performed for an hour on New Year's Eve at a party thrown by terror-backing Libyan dictator Moammar Khadafy's son, Hannibal, who has a long record of violence against women.
Beyoncé performed five songs in a sexy black leotard at the Nikki Beach club on St. Barts in front of a crowd that included her husband Jay-Z, Usher and Lindsay Lohan.
We couldn't confirm how much Beyoncé was paid for the gig, but last year, Mariah Carey reportedly pocketed $1 million for performing at Nikki Beach.
Some vacationers on the island were aghast. DJ Sam Young tweeted: "Jigga [Jay-Z], Beyonce & Usher were @ Nikki Beach performing for Khadafy family, WTF?"
Just a week earlier, on Christmas Day, Hannibal, 33 -- also known as Moutassim -- allegedly attacked his wife, Aline Skaf, in his suite at Claridge's in London. Three of his security staff were arrested for obstructing police. Skaf was reportedly hospitalized with a broken nose while Hannibal was whisked away in a diplomatic car.
In July 2008, he and his then-pregnant wife were arrested on charges of beating their servants in a Geneva hotel. They denied the charges, which were dropped after the servants received compensation.
Hannibal was also arrested in 2005 in a Paris hotel for allegedly punching Skaf. He then allegedly brandished a 9mm handgun and went on a furniture-smashing rampage in his hotel suite. No charges were brought.
A year earlier, he led a police chase on the Champs Elysees, reaching speeds of 90 mph in his Porsche. No charges were brought after Libyan diplomats apologized. And in 2001, he allegedly attacked three Italian policemen with a fire extinguisher, but demanded diplomatic immunity.
Reps for Beyoncé and Nikki Beach did not return calls and e-mails.

In 2006, it was the George Bush administration that said that Libya would be taken off the list of countries that support terrorism and Bush encouraged and permitted Americans to do business with Libya, which many American corporations are doing.

NY Post and many other sources have the wrong brother. A statement was released later by Beyonce's camp, and it was for Muatsim Khadafy. I want to add that all the brothers were young when their father was associated with terrorism.
The brothers were never accused of any terrorism. When Muatsim got older he even tried to overthrow his father's goverment with the help of a US ally Egypt. Muatsim went back and started to change things internally to help the US and Libya restore normal diplomatic ties. Libya is now considered an ally, is helping the US fight terrorism, and many American and European corporations are doing business with Libya. Once the older Khadafy steps down, the US and Europe supports Muatsim taking over the Libyan government.

@trueblood58 - are you standing on your bald head? W T F?!!! ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? Jay NEVER ridiculed Chris Brown and he never kissed or sucked up to Khadafy. You're obviously jealous of a successful black man. LOSER!

Hannibal, who has a long record of violence against women? you have to be kidding. If you are implying that Beyonce and other singers should not sing in front of people who commit violence against women, then she should not do any concerts anywhere in US or any country. COme on NYPOST, don't by a hypocrite. YOu are against Hannibal, because he is a Muslim.. What kind of s.h.i.t are you trying to pull NYPOST? You won't have any problem if she performed for an Israeli Mafia..would you?

The Pan Am 103 happened in 1988 when Beyonce was 7 years old. How many of keep in mind something that happened 15-20 years ago when were very young, no matter how tragic it was. I had to look up the info myself, and I'm a few years older than Beyonce. It's not something that is talked about constantly like the Holocaust, 9/11, Pearl Harbor, etc..Many Americans are not experts on the Middle East, including myself.

Bottom line, President George Bush said that he no longer considered Libya a terrorism threat in 2006. It appears that diplomatic ties started up with the European Union and the United States in 2003. Many US corporations are now doing business with Libya.
