Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez certainly aren't the only divas in Hollywood: Nicki Minaj's concert rider, recently revealed in a magazine interview, show that she has some pretty involved backstage demands as well. Those include three 12-piece buckets of spicy fried chicken, no thighs, and scented candles smelling like baked goods, the Daily Mail reports. The Huffington Post rounds up the food requests of 13 other celebrities:

  • Jordin Sparks: The American Idol alum only wants healthy food, including a jar of kosher pickle spears.
  • Lady Gaga: Her rider doesn't demand food at all, just beverages including Red Bull.

  • Drake: The rapper asks for comfort food like soup and, of course, lots of alcohol.
  • Justin Bieber: The teen wants potato chips, of course, as well as candy from his native Canada.
  • Kanye West: He wants pistachios, but they better not be red ones.
  • Adele: Don't even think about providing this crooner with American beer.
