Capital FM’s Chris Stark revealed on air on Tuesday that he once almost missed out on an interview with Nicki Minaj because she had a huge diva moment.

The radio DJ, 37, told his co-hosts Sian Welby and Jordan North that Nicki’s team were so offended by the smell of his chips and beans, they demanded that the room be aired out fully before Nicki, now 41, went in.

Chris began: ‘I was waiting to interview Nicki Minaj, and she kept running late. They kept delaying it more and more.

‘So, I got a bit hungry, darted downstairs to the canteen that was there for some chips and beans.

‘I was just enjoying my chips and beans, I was in the moment, when a member of Nicki Minaj’s team approached me, questioned what I was up to – because she thought it was a bit weird that I was eating chips and beans – then asked me to leave.

Pregnant Sian Welby, 37, couldn’t contain her laughter when Chris recalled being kicked out of the interview room

Sian, 37, who is seven months pregnant, giggled: ‘What, you looked that suspicious?’

The star is expecting her first child with her fiancé Jake Beckett and announced the news live on Capital Breakfast.

Chris continued: ‘I was just amazed at what was going on. I don’t know why. This was a few years ago, she was like at the real height.’

He added: ‘They had to bring in candles and sprays and that, and I wasn’t allowed in until that was properly sorted.’

Nicki is currently on her Pink Friday 2 World Tour, her fourth, and will perform in Chicago on Wednesday and Thursday.

She has already been to Canada since the tour began on March 1, and will hit the Netherlands, the UK, Germany, France, Belgium, and more by the time it ends.

Nicki is being supported on the tour by Monica, and has brought out the likes of Chris Brown and Travis Scott during her performances.

During her Detroit leg, Nicki unfortunately became the latest celebrity to have an object thrown at her. 

Luckily, the Anaconda rapper blocked the bracelet with her hand before chucking it straight back in the direction of the thrower.
