J-Lo ‘dumped from IPL over diva demands

Jennifer Lopez was dropped from performing in front of tens of millions of viewers at the Indian Premier League opening ceremony after her camp demanded she have her own plane.

Her manager Benny Medina reportedly asked organisers to make a private plane available to the superstar and pay for hotel rooms for her extensive entourage, including stylists and a personal chef.

 

Sources told NY Post that the Pepsi IPL booked rapper Pitbull after refusing to meet her diva-like demands. It quoted a source who said the list of demands was ‘outrageous’.

The source told NY Post: ‘She effectively priced herself out of the event. It was an idiotic move because the audience for this event is huge. It’s like the Super Bowl halftime show.’

J-Lo’s representative denied she was dropped by IPL organisers and said she is not performing at the ceremony because she is too busy.

The aide told the NY Post: ‘An offer was made to perform; the date conflicted with Jennifer’s current music-recording schedule for an album due this summer.’
