Nicki Minaj goes full diva at photo shoot for Billboard (Report)

It is tiring business to be "The Harajuku Barbie."

Rapper Nicki Minaj was reportedly showing diva-like behavior at a photo shoot for Billboard magazine, according to W.E.N.N.

The report states that the "Anaconda" singer allegedly arrived at the magazine's photo shoot in New York six hours behind schedule. This caused everyone working the shoot to stay up into the early hours of the morning, for which Minaj reportedly did not apologize.

According to a source at The Sun, a British daily tabloid newspaper, Minaj kept falling asleep during the photo shoot.

"It was incredibly rude and everyone was getting really angry with her," the source said.

This is not the first time Minaj has acted unprofessionally with the media. According to InTouch Weekly, Minaj fell asleep four times during her interview with GQ Magazine reporter Taffy Brodesser-Akner. In the article itself, Brodesser-Akner (who is not known to be a sleep expert) said that Minaj was not asleep long enough to reach REM sleep, but enough for her to appear asleep.

"She can't be baited into talking shit about anyone anymore; she answers questions simply and succinctly," Brodesser-Akner wrote in the article. "[A]t four separate times she dozed off, her head jerking awake at just the moment it had started to dip."

Minaj loves sleep, in addition to other things. Another article in Us Weekly also elaborated on Minaj's demands as revealed in an issue of Wonderland Magazine, as told by a rider on her tour. These demands include 24 Dasani water bottles, 12 being at room temperature, 12 being on ice, three packs of gum, "lots of wings" and two dozen pink or white roses. (Perhaps next time the requests will include luxury linens.)
