Odd comment for this article. A lot of people have ended up playing for dictators because their agents booked it and took the money without asking the star.

Only occasionally do we get movements like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artists_United_Against_Aparthe...

Seriously? Some agent forced her to dance for dictator famous for parading his harem all over the world.

Atleast Mariah Carey had the decency to admit that she made a mistake instead of some ridiculous 'agent made me do it' excuse.
