The hip-hop star went through with her much-maligned concert in the dictator-led nation on Saturday — just days after activists begged her
to cancel the show.
Members of the Human Rights Foundation and the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights group hoped the 33-year-old artist would nix her holiday concert gig since it was hosted by Unitel, a company run by Angola's dictator, Jose Eduardo dos Santos.
Dos Santos has been accused of heading an extremely corrupt regime since taking over in 1979. Many people in his country live off of less than $2 per day, and he has been widely criticized for his treatment of those opposing him, as well as his treatment of human rights.
