Starring in big budget flicks has turned one cocoa-colored star into quite the drama king. According to sources, the well-built crooner arrived to a recent shoot several hours late, apologized for his tardiness — then unleashed his list of wants. “He was kind of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” says a source.

“He was going out of his way to seem polite initially, but then started making a bunch of demands. It was kind of funny and phony.” His biggest request? Speakers so he could listen to music while he was prepped for hair and make-up. Guess that wouldn’t have been too bad except he made the entire set listen to his album… on repeat… for the entire shoot. He also sang his songs all afternoon. “That got old quickly,” adds the source. “Everyone thought it was hilarious.” Hopefully, too much success won’t transform the star much more.
