Missy Elliott's over-the-top persona is apparently only matched by her over-the-top pre-show demands.
For years, enquiring minds have been curious to find out what exactly their favourite stars demand before gracing the stage with their presence. Of course, there was Jennifer Lopez's classic white lillies/white walls/white couches/white candles deal. Not bad. Or perhaps Gnarls Barkley request for a 12 pack of Magnum condoms and some Snickers minis. Safety first.
But nothing compares to what bigger than life rapper Missy Elliott demands. During her recent trip to the UK, she requested for two five-star hotel suites and 33 fivestar rooms, worth $10 000, for her entourage, as well as a $7000 dinner in the city's uber chic Landmarc restaurant for 35 people on the night of the show. It doesn't end there. Back in her dressing room, it was expected that Missy would be supplied with an unlimited amount of Cristal champagne. And despite her recent(ish) weight loss, the 'Lose Control' rapper still wanted Hershey's almond chocolate bars, Jolly Rancher lollipops and peanut M&Ms.
