What Does Jay Z, Lady Gaga, Maria

The hip-hop superstar — who is married to singer Beyonce Knowles — has 57 specific requirements on his rider, including requests for hand sanitizer, “nice china,” cloth dinner napkins, and silver cutlery.
Jay-Z also requests four 750 ml bottles of vodka and tequila, 2004 Sassicaia Italian red wine from the Bolgheri region — which costs over $200 a bottle — sugar-free Red Bull and orange juice which “must not contain fruit pulp.”
To sustain his appetite, the “99 Problems” hitmaker needs fresh fruit, organic bread, and a bottle of honey on hand in his dressing room.
Jay-Z isn’t the only celebrity to have unusual backstage demands.
It was previously revealed that Lady Gaga asks for a tank of oxygen on her rider, and states in her rider that the venue will be in breach of contract if she and her crew are not served dinner by 5 pm.
Mariah Carey lives up to her diva reputation by demanding Cristal champagne and Evian water, with 50 Cent following suit with an 18-page rider which includes details on how his food should be served to him on finest china plates.
However, Alicia Keys — who sang with Jay-Z on “Empire State of Mind” — asks only for a packet of M&Ms.
