Jennifer Lopez was dropped from performing in front of tens of millions of viewers at the Indian Premier League opening ceremony after her camp demanded she have her own plane.
Her manager Benny Medina reportedly asked organisers to make a private plane available to the superstar and pay for hotel rooms for her extensive entourage, including stylists and a personal chef.
Sources told NY Post that the Pepsi IPL booked rapper Pitbull after refusing to meet her diva-like demands.
The source told NY Post: ‘She effectively priced herself out of the event. It was an idiotic move because the audience for this event is huge. It’s like the Super Bowl halftime show.’
A J-Lo representative denied she was dropped by IPL organisers and said she is not performing at the ceremony on Tuesday because she is too busy.
The singer and actress has repeatedly been forced to deny she is a diva.
‘I think everyone has their list of things that make you feel comfortable … like a certain kind of potato chip or water. I think the crazy ones are made up.’
In 2010, Lopez was rumoured to putting her American Idol deal in jeopardy because of her ‘unreasonable demands’.
U.S. media reported that she asked for more than $20million a year, plus a personal hair, make-up and styling team and her own ‘dressing room compound’.
