It takes a lot to keep Nicki Minaj happy.
In the February/March issue of Wonderland, the 29-year-old rapper's highly specific diva demands are revealed from her tour rider. They include: dried cranberries, raw almonds and 24 bottles of Dasani water bottles -- 12 at room temperature, 12 on ice.

The "Super Bass" rapper's favorite food, however, is fried chicken. Minaj wants "lots of wings" in the three 12-piece buckets of "spicy" meat -- "no thighs" allowed.

Tell Us: Does Nicki Minaj need all these items in her dressing room?
Tell Us What You Think
5ok first: Yes while its catered food, it doesn't go to her crew or anyone working that event, it goes to HER and HER Entourage ( this list isn't bad at all) I believe Mariah Carey and Jessica Simpson both have specific color M&M's on theirs, they wear latex gloves when they pick them out. This is DEF not a bad rider
I just hate her, even if this list isn't that diva-ish. She's a waste.
Most of it's catered food. And not weird food, either. Keep in mind that the food isn't for a cocktail party. The artists and crew are at the venue most of the day setting up and doing sound check. They have to eat while they're working. As for the flowers and candles - most of those dressing rooms look like jai cells and smell like machine oil and dirty socks.
I expected something outlandish. This isn't at all. I've read riders where stars wanted M&M's with certain colors picked out and things like that. That is Diva behavior. And about picking out those M&M's.....who would want to eat those after a stranger had their fingers in your M&M's??? Just sayin.... But to Nicki...this doesn't seem out of line at all.
Actually, there's nothing diva'ish abou this, she needs her fiber and fluids, I buy this stuff all the time minus the meat and chicken since i'm vegetarian. I got couple of vanilla cupcake candles they smell heavenly the other day and flowers, well they may add a nice touch to a dressing room. Just saying, I've seen far more outrageous demands on tour riders so her's not too bad.
