The R&B star makes the bizarre demand in her tour rider, obtained by The Smoking Gun, which states the singer's backstage area should have a "private toilet (with a new toilet seat)".

Blige asks for red vine liquorice, Aveda candles and a loveseat for herdressing room, while the document also unveils her hotel stipulations, revealing she checks in under the name Mrs Jefferson and demands a fruit basket of green apples and a bundle of local take-out menus.
