Kanye West + Jay Z’s Leaked Hotel Riders Are Insane

that sh*t cray

by daniel barna

Why are we so fascinated by riders? Any time we get our hands on a list of the various demands (some insane, some innocuous) a celebrity makes when travelling, we marvel, scoff, and analyze them with an unparalleled level of scrutiny, bewilderment, and jealousy. Today, we got a look at the hotel riders of both Kanye West and Jay Z, courtesy of TMZ. In the annals of insane leaked riders — Mariah Carey's 20 white kittens and 100 doves comes to mind — the Watch The Throne duo's requests are surprisingly reasonable. Well, sort of. Check them out below. 

Jay Z’s List:

- Room temperature must be set at  71 degrees.

- Three $80 Mayan tuberose-scented candles must be in the room. 

- There is absolutely no vacuuming permitted near his room.

- To "avoid embarrassment" staff should never ask for concert tickets.

- Ace of Spades Champagne, which Jay Z owns, should be fully stocked. 

Kanye West’s List:

- Vases must be cylindrical.

- The room must be equipped with ultra-rare Genelecs 1031a speaker.

- Floss must be mint-flavored

- Only Kashi GoLean cereal is acceptable.

- Black towels only.

- Booze totals $3,200.
