Just like so many of his contemporaries, Wale has a very detailed, somewhat random tour rider.

This week, TMZobtained the D.C. rapper’s 18-page list of demands, which covers everything from snacks and furniture to alcohol and security. Though some of the items aren’t very shocking, it’s an interesting look at the mind of Wale.

Here’s a taste of what the rider includes: When it comes to concert venues, he requires two dressing rooms "furnished with REAL, clean" sofas, which must seat up to 10 people. He also demands Hennessy, Patron, and Ace of Spades as well as an electric tea kettle with organic sugar, honey, lemon, milk, and cream. The man gets thirsty, and he likes to have options. Lint-free hand towels, baby oil, Kleenex, and a large bag of Jolly Ranchers and Starburts are also a must—along with three armed guards and bulletproof SUVs for international appearances.

Again, these kinds of lists are fascinating, but this particular one is far from the craziest we’ve seen. Rae Sremmurd’s rider reportedly includes small Nerf Super Soakers and a 15-passenger airport shuttle van with a stripper pole installed. Kanye West has required an alcohol-filled slushie machine; Gnarls Barkley has listed a pack of magnum condoms; Iggy Pop had to have a Bob Hope impersonator; and Mariah Carey demanded 20 white kittens and 10 doves.

Musicians are wild.
