Mariah Carey is currently under fire for charging a staggering 1 million dollars for performing for the Angola dictator Jose Eduardo dos Santos and his family.

Carey performed twice in the country, which included a live public show at Luanda's Coqueiros Stadium, and a fundraiser gala for the Angola Red Cross attended by Santos and his wife, the New York Post reported.

Human Rights Foundation has slammed the 'Music Box' hitmaker's performance and said that Carey can't seem to get enough dictator cash, as she had earlier performed for Muammar al-Gaddafi.

The president of the Human Rights Foundation noted that Carey has gone from private performances to public displays of support and credibility for one of Africa's chief human rights violators and most corrupt tyrants.
