Super Bowl Halftime Show 2013: NFL Denies Reports of Beyonce's Diva Demands for Blue Ivy
With just four days ahead of Beyonce's highly anticipated Super Bowl XLVII halftime show performance, a source has described the singer as "difficult" because of her list of demands. Beyonce's rider reportedly includes special requests not only for herself, but for her husband Jay-Z and their daughter Blue Ivy.
A source told Daily Star that the "Love On Top" singer has come up with a list of diva-like demands.
"She's by far one of the most difficult celebrities we've ever dealt with," an insider reportedly told Daily Star. "The list is as long as my arm. She may be a superstar, but this day is about football not her."
According to the source, Beyoncé requires that her one-year-old daughter's $60,000 cedar cot be transported from her New York home to the New Orleans' Mercedes Benz Superdome where the Super Bowl will be taken place. The 31-year-old reportedly wants Blue Ivy's room to be furnished with rose-scented candles and the room temperature kept at 26 degrees Celsius.
The Houston native also wants her rapper husband to be treated to a lap of luxury as well. Her list of demands also includes that they provide him with more than $6,000 in cigars and alcohol.
The NFL, however, has debunked the report in a statement to TMZ.
"Beyonce and her team have been great to work with throughout this process," said Brian McCarthy, the vice president of communications for the NFL told TMZ.
"We have enjoyed her creativity, vision and spirit in putting on a great show that is truly a Super Bowl performance," he added.
Beyonce arrived in New Orleans on Inauguration Day to begin rehearsals for the halftime show. A source told E! News that she likely began rehearsing for a few months for the big event, which is considered to be the most watched musical event of the year.
"Rehearsals typically go on for two to three months in advance," a source close to the halftime show told E! News.
