Kanye West insists on having cylindrical vases, a discontinued speaker and black towels in his hotel rooms. The 'Only One' hitmaker has a list of specific demands which must be met when he's on the road, including specifically-shaped items to hold his flowers and a speaker, despite the fact it has been unavailable for 10 years. He also requests mint dental floss and Kashi Go Lean cereal. While he doesn't have specific requirements for his two-year-old daughter North, his friend and former 'Watch the Throne' tourmate Jay Z insists his three-year-old daughter Blue Ivy's needs are met, thanks to the addition of organic whole milk on his rider. And all the '99 Problems' hitmaker's suites must be childproofed with all corners, sharp edges, and electrical outlets covered, and statues, lamps, and breakable objects removed. Jay - who is married to Beyonce - insists his accommodation is heated to 71°F and requires three $80 Mayan tuberose-scented candles. He also requests staff don't vacuum near his room and, to "avoid embarrassment", they must not ask for concert tickets.
