Or rather he would like to have done if the University of Arizona hadn’t turned down his request to arrive in style for a performance at the school recently. He may have banked a nice $750,000 for his set, but there were many other items requested as well as the expensive wheels which the school couldn’t provide. Since the school has a policy not to provide the artists with alcohol or tobacco the Belvedere was out, so too the Patron. But you’ll be pleased to know the jar of good quality peanut butter did make the list. So did the good quality grape jelly.
To see what else a rapper the status of Jay-Z needs in case you’re thinking of booking him for your University Ball, head to the smoking section for the full rider request.
I always love reading these rider request as there are always some random things down on them, like if they didn’t have them they couldn’t quite possibly perform. Is Jay-Z really going to notice that the room temperature isn’t 72 degrees? It appears so with this comment on the front…
THIS RIDER HAS BEEN PREPARED TO DETAIL REQUIREMENTS THAT WE FEEL NECESSARY FOR THE ARTIST JAY-Z TO PRESENT THE BEST POSSIBLE SHOW FOR YOUR PATRONS
Classic.
