Capital FM's reveals Nicki Minaj's major diva moment when she refused to do interview
Capital FM's Chris Stark revealed on air on Tuesday that he once almost missed out on an interview with Nicki Minaj because she had a huge diva moment.
The radio DJ, 37, told his co-hosts Sian Welby and Jordan North that Nicki's team were so offended by the smell of his chips and beans, they demanded that the room be aired out fully before Nicki, now 41, went in.
Chris began: 'I was waiting to interview Nicki Minaj, and she kept running late. They kept delaying it more and more.
'So, I got a bit hungry, darted downstairs to the canteen that was there for some chips and beans.
'I was just enjoying my chips and beans, I was in the moment, when a member of Nicki Minaj’s team approached me, questioned what I was up to – because she thought it was a bit weird that I was eating chips and beans – then asked me to leave.

Nicki is currently on her Pink Friday 2 World Tour, her fourth, and will perform in Chicago on Wednesday and Thursday.
She has already been to Canada since the tour began on March 1, and will hit the Netherlands, the UK, Germany, France, Belgium, and more by the time it ends.
