10 Most Difficult Music Divas Of All Time

5. Nicki Minaj

Nicki Minaj Nicki Minaj is a rap diva and doesn't really care about what you think of her behaviour (unless you're a Barb). Sparks flew in this year's American Idol as she accompanied Mariah Carey on the judging panel for the original singing talent series. The two divas together caused great on-screen tension and ratings. Nicki's food items she requires backstage are dried cranberries, raw almonds and 24 bottles of Dasani water bottles, 12 at room temperature and 12 on ice. The Harajuku Barbie also demands Snapple, Red Bull, assorted fruit juices, Simply Lemonade, a fruit platter, a cheese platter, a deli tray, three packs of gum, and a salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, green olives, Wishbone Light Italian dressing, Bumble Bee tuna in water and wheat or low-fat crackers. The "Super Bass" singer makes one exception in her otherwise healthy rider for her favorite food: fried chicken. She demands "lots of wings" in the three 12-piece buckets of "spicy" meat, with "no thighs" allowed. Nicki Minaj will eat with nothing less than a "set of fine silverware." For her dressing room itself, Minaj requires two dozen pink or white roses, candles with the scent of baked goods, Halls Mentho-lyptus Honey Lemon Throat Cough Drops, contact lens solution with case, two space heaters and a cool mist humidifier.
