By some mysterious means – though probs just by an attention-seeking hotel staffer who decided to leak them – gossip monsters TMZ have come by lists of all the opulent and weird shit that Kanye and Jay Z demand in their hotel rooms when on tour.
The lists, though fairly short, contain a number of highly-specific requests – and in Jay’s case, even include instructions for child-proofing, for when he’s travelling with illuminati toddler Blue Ivy.
Jay Z likes to create a little atmosphere with three “$80 Mayan tuberose-scented candles”, and asks that the temperature be set at a pleasant 21.6 degrees Celsius.
He doesn’t like staff vacuuming near his room (presumably he doesn’t like to be disturbed when he and Bey are enjoying their tuberose candles) and asks that they refrain from it while he’s there.
Jay demands Ace Of Spades brand sparkling, but he’ll be damned if he’s paying for it, since he owns the company; as for Blue, the only thing she’s drinking is organic whole milk.
For Blue’s sake, he asks that all outlets and sharp edges be covered, and breakable objects removed. The best bit? He instructs staff not to ask him for tickets to his shows, if they wish to “avoid embarrassment.”
Kanye’s list specifies that vases in his room must be cylindrical in shape, which is classic Kanye right there. He demands 13 bottles of liquor, totalling around $US 3200, including three bottles of Paradis Hennessy.
Complicating things somewhat, Kanye also asks staff to procure him a Genelecs 1031a speaker, a bit of gear which was “discontinued a decade ago.”
If you want to live a little bit of the Yeezy lifestyle but can’t afford the Hennessy or the obscure audio equipment, you can still go ahead and get yourself some minty floss and black towels, both of which he apparently prefers.
This has been your Kanye #PSA for the day.
