Bye Felicia: Charlie Puth's quirks — and obscure junk food needs — were a small price to pay, student leaders say

Orange Crush Pop-Tarts, 12 Lean Cuisine meals, mattress pads, 24 bath towels and “fruit snacks that aren’t too chewy.”

Those were among the requirements on a rider on Charlie Puth’s contract with Utah State University, according to the student body officials who were charged with keeping the singer-songwriter content during his visit to Logan on Friday.

But at least, student Felicia Gallegos said, "he didn’t request a dog this time — thank goodness."

Puth had reportedly requested a furry friend — no specific breed was specified — when he originally contracted to perform at Utah State in April.

That concert was cancelled when Puth got sick.

Despite the somewhat obscure requests, Gallegos said she was grateful Puth had been willing to honor his original fee.

When Gallegos booked Puth for the previous school year, the singer was within the organization’s budget. Over the summer, though, Puth gained popularity — and his price rose.

"He was an incredible guy — a bit quirky, but overall he was a pretty genuine guy," Gallegos said.

"When I first introduced myself he instantly said 'Bye Felicia' and then we laughed and joked about it," she said, referencing a popular meme used as a dismissive farewell.

“He seems like a pretty cool cat,” said Keaton Rosemann, who works for the facilities department’s moving crew. “I noticed while setting up for him the guy legit plays the piano. Out of nowhere he started playing jazz music. I felt like I was in a dining room on a cruise ship.”

Rosemann said he didn’t mind Puth’s additional needs.

“Regardless of the diva rumors, I got to give it to the guy,” Rosemann said. “He's got some angelic vocal chords. It’s awesome that his ticket prices stayed so low for students.”

That price? One buck — about the price of five Orange Crush Pop-Tarts.
