Want Kanye or Jay Z at your gig? These are their demands!

Los Angeles- 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, as well as $3200 worth of liquor, including three bottles of Paradis Hennessy, TMZ reports.

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 Z - who is married to Beyoncé - insists his accommodation is heated to 22°C 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.

Though the rapper doesn't request as much liquor as Kanye - whose wife Kim Kardashian West is pregnant with their second child - he does insist on Ace of Spades champagne.

However, his contract specifies he can't be charged for the fizz as he owns the company.
