Well if you mean:

a vain or undisciplined person who finds it difficult to work under direction or as part of a team

or

a temperamental person; a person who takes adulation and privileged treatment as a right and reacts with petulance to criticism or inconvenience

then I think the correct term is Prima Donna.

But I don't think you mean any of those things.....
