​Not the best look, performing on New Year's Eve on the yacht of the son of one of the more notorious terrorism financiers and Lockerbie bomber-absolvers on the planet. Worse if that son happens to have a woman-beating problem. The New York Post reports the singer played "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. Beyonce 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, Microsoft founder Paul Allen and Lindsay Lohan." The paper adds that Hannibal "allegedly attacked three Italian policemen with a fire extinguisher, but demanded diplomatic immunity" in 2001, led a high speed police chase in 2004, and punched his wife in both 2005 and 2009, the latter incident occurring on Christmas Day. No word on either the fee (though the Post does venture a million dollar estimate) or the setlist, beyond a Russell Simmons "Irreplaceable" caption. One would think that the whole Eve thing (which, confusingly, Paul Allen also seems to have been involved in) would've brought the trickiness of hanging around brutal dictators to light, but who are we to question how the other half lives, really?
