Two days ago, Mediaite reported that singer Beyoncé Knowles had given a private New Year’s Eve performance for an exclusive crowd in St. Barth — allegedly paid for by relatives of Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi.

Today, that report has been confirmed.

Yesterday, we asked: Did Beyoncé perform on New Year’s Eve for the family of Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi? Rumors had been slowly percolating that Beyoncé’s fabulous private New Year’s Eve performance at the exclusive Nikki Beach club on St. Barth was hosted by family members of Libyan dictator Col. Muammar Ghaddafi. His son, Saif Gaddafi, is said to have held a similar New Year’s Eve bash at Nikki Beach for the past few years; last year, he reportedly hired Mariah Carey to perform for $1 million.

Did Beyoncé perform on New Year’s Eve for the family of Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi? Reports are surfacing that she did — and people are starting to wonder why. The mega-star and her mega-star husband, Jay-Z, are confirmed to have spent their New Year’s holiday in St. Barth thanks to numerous sightings, tweets/twitpics and paparazzi photographs over the last few days of 2009. The singer is rumored to have received a $2 million payday for her performance at the exclusive St. Barth party — but who paid her?
