The Most Absurd Celebrity Riders of All Time

There are those essentials that a celebrity or musician needs such as a comfortable room that could also accommodate the squad and a menu of their choice. However, some celebrities have requested the most hilarious things. From Justin Biber asking for door knobs to be cleaned to Jay Z asking for seven dressing rooms, one for each day. Let’s look at the most absurd celebrity demands.

  1.  Van Halen

During Van Halen’s 1982 tour, he requested that there should not be brown M&Ms in the bowl. Poor interns had to choose through candy picking out the brown ones. It was recently ascertained that this was a way to make sure that the rider goes through the finer details of his request. This has to be one of the ludicrous requests.

  1. Adele

Elsewhere, the 33-year-old modest musician requested her dressing room to include a bottle of the very best red wine and a pack of Marlboro Lights cigarettes despite her having throat surgery recently. Incredibly, in North America, she stated that every person needed to donate $20 for complimentary tickets. This donation went to the British Bereavement Support Charity.

  1. Justin Bieber

It doesn’t take much to accommodate him; all he needs is diced fruits and snacks. Apart from that, he requests a convoy of 10 grandiose sedans and 2 buses. Biebs also provided 12 white handkerchiefs upon his request. He is not one to throw diver demands on the face of organizers.

  1. Beyoncé

Like all other artists, Beyonce also has a rider list. Her rider list includes sliced cheese, Pepsi cans, oatcakes, scented candles, cigars, and liquor for Jay Z. She also asks everyone in her crew to wear 100% cotton clothes. Queen Bey likes the temperature of her room to be set at 78 degrees.

  1. Christina Aguilera

The singer has a simple taste for oreo cookies, healthy fruits, Nesquik chocolate milk, deli meat, and club sandwiches. She also requested chewable vitamins and gum. The only outrageous request she’s had is to demand venue bosses to limit the number of disposable cups and cutlery to keep the environment friendly. 

The riders testify that she hates traffic so the organizers have to avail a police escort for her to maneuver. She says that under no circumstance are vehicles allowed to delay her grand performance.

  1. Rihanna

Rihanna’s tastes are very particular. As she prepared to perform “Last Girl On Earth ” the riders had to ensure that every venue felt like home which included a leopard print haven littered with black forest candles. She specifically requests for one large throw rag, 6 candles, Dark blue or black drapes, and 8 throw pillows. She also demands spotless bathrooms and expects them to be deep cleaned.

  1. Jay-Z

The thoughtful dad stipulates that each hotel room should completely be child-proofed. He requested that all sharp edges, corners, and electrical outlets be covered. Additionally, he also requested organic whole milk for Blue Ivy. For himself, he requests an ace of spades champagne( he owns the company), and a favorable room temperature of 71 degrees.

  1. Joe Jonas

In 2016 during an interview, he revealed that one of the top requests was that he gets puppies however this has not happened but would be great if it happens. The singer has named some foods and he wants to chow down. 

  1.  Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey reportedly asked for 20 white kittens and 100 white doves. Rumors have it that she also requested vitamin water to wash her dogs and an assistant to handle her used gum. She prefers her dressing room to have drapes and a 3-seater couch in plain color. She also requests a dozen vanilla protein shakes.

  1. Jennifer Lopez

Whispers have it that she demanded her dressing room to have a white theme; this means white flowers, white tablecloths. One thing about J-Lo is that she loves milk and cookies so it’s perfect for her to be washed down with a glass of cold fat milk. More specifically, a cookie warmed to the perfect temperature.

  1. Marilyn Manson

His only requests are two items; Haribo gummy bears and bald heads, and a toothless hooker. This is not surprising because bald toothless hookers love Haribos!
