Jay-Z demanded a watermelon carved in the shape of wife Beyonce Knowles'
bust during his stay in Africa.

The rapper wanted the bizarre sculpture to be displayed in his
$5,000-a-night hotel room where he was staying ahead of his performance at
the THISDAY Festival in Nigeria on Friday.

A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "One giant watermelon was
split in two and ornately carved into a mold of Beyonce's breasts. Two
cherries were used as nipples."

The rapper - who controversially headlined Glastonbury earlier this summer,
despite claims from Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher that hip-hip wasn't right
for the festival - performed a duet with Rihanna at the concert, dubbed
Africa Rising.

The pair performed the Barbadian beauty's number one hit 'Umbrella' before
Jay-Z went solo for a rendition of his duet with Beyonce, 'Crazy in Love'.

The concert - which aims to find sustainable solutions to the economic and
political problems facing the continent - also featured performances from
Mary J. Blige, Usher and a speech from model Naomi Campbell.

Tinseltown’s newest attraction opening next year is the $55 million Madame Tussauds Hollywood launched with the newly created wax figures of singer Beyonce Knowles and Oscar winning actor Jamie Foxx.
