Mariah Carey has claimed that Snoop Dogg is an even bigger diva than she is rumoured to be.

The star, who is notoriously hard work for anyone trying to please her, has claimed that she decided not to fly Snoop Dogg out to Paris to film the promo for her latest single, Say Somethin' because of his diva-like demands.

She told MTV: "If you guys think I'm a diva and I have requirements, Snoop is the next level. He's the hip-hop king.

"So his requirements to get to Paris are, like, beyond platinum editions. They're, like, beyond ultra-platinum editions, they're like diamond editions.

"So we love Snoop and we wish he had been here, but I think shooting him in LA will be good because we'll have more time, more control.

"He probably would have gotten really mobbed in the streets (of Paris) anyway."
