Kanye West reportedly refuses to let his drivers wear man-made fabrics.
The 34-year-old rapper insists that his chauffeurs only wear suits that are 100 per cent cotton, according to the rider for his recent Australian tour.
As well as outlawing polyester suits, Kanye also had Versace towels flown Down Under from the US, which were then cut into smaller hand towels and used to wipe the sweat from his brow during performances.
Everything had to be crisp white and clean during his trip and the 'Gold Digger' singer is even rumoured to have moved hotels in Melbourne because he did not like the furniture.
A source told the country's Daily Telegraph newspaper: 'It's rare to see that level of bling pimpin' celebrity excess in Australia. It's hard to not find it fun watching it from the inside.'
The visit was filmed for a documentary on the launch of his new fashion label KW, and he is also said to be planning to make a movie - similar to his 2010 short film 'Runaway' - in the Middle East.
