Nicki Minaj Reveals Past Life, Tour Rider in "Wonderland"
ABC/TIM OGIERNicki Minaj looks pretty in pink on the cover of Wonderland magazine, and inside she reportedly reveals her obsession with Barbie, her low-key style at home and her tour rider demands. According to rider, Nicki's dressing room should stock two dozen pink or white roses, and three large candles, specifically the kind that smell like baked goods.
Aside from "Singer's Saving Grace throat spray," Nicki requests two packs of Halls lemon honey drops and three packs of Thayers Slippery Elm Lozenges in different flavors. The YMCMB star -- who reveals her love for London in the interview, also apparently has a thing for a very English pastime. She requests a "Hot Tea setup," including teacups, saucers, spoons, napkins and decaffeinated Lipton Tea bags, along with sugar, lemon wedges and honey.
"I was born in London in my past life, no one can tell me different," Nicki tells Wonderland. "I probably was like a queen in London, I was probably the people's queen that fought for lives... and I probably started off as a maid and then was just, like, really revolutionary and moved all my Barbies into the big queen mansion."
The royal rapper demands enough food to feed a court of six in her rider, requesting a fruit platter with mango on the side, a large cheese platter, three 12-piece buckets of chicken -- heavy on the wings, but no thighs. Nicki's list also calls for "a deli tray with turkey breast meat, grilled chicken breast, whole wheat bread or rolls, yellow mustard and other condiments (seasoned salt, hot sauce), plates, forks, spooks, knives, napkins and straws." She asks for salad, with Wishbone Light Italian dressing, tuna, carrots and dip, and dried cranberries and raw almonds.
There's also a breakfast food order for Nicki and her crew: "Egg Whites (scrambled hard), Turkey Bacon (fried hard), white toast (grape and strawberry jelly/jam). Belgian Waffles (syrup, powdered sugar, whipped cream, butter and strawberries on side) Enough to serve 4 people." She also requests Martinelli's apple juice, a dozen cans of Red Bull, a dozen bottles of Snapple lemon iced tea and 12 more assorted Snapple drinks, two dozen bottles of Dasani water and three packs of gum in assorted flavors.
Nicki needs contact lens solution and a case, along with two space heaters and -- "VERY IMPORTANT" -- a cool mist humidifier.
