When it comes to diva requests it looked as though Yeezus singer Kanye West had it in the bag with his ironed carpet, white linen, and shower shoes, but rapper Pitbull may have stolen the title.

Performing at this weekend’s Fusion Festival in Birmingham the We Are One singer asked staff for a secluded “love shack”.

Not shy about making his tour intentions known the singer requested a "chair for one-and-a-half people", “blacked out windows”, low calorie vodka and a tray of lemons.

The 33-year-old rapper performed a string of hits at the Birmingham based festival which saw acts including Jessie J, Pixie Lott, The Wanted and Neon Jungle.
