It’s not exactly clear what tour rider or year the list of liquor was on, but we hope it was pre- Recovery. According to the New York Post, he asked for 2 bottles of Bacardi and 2 bottles of Hennessy. On the other hand, he asks for “16 cans,” so he’s not exactly watching his intake ( The Smoking Gun). On the one hand, he’s trying to watch his sugar intake by ordering “Sugar-Free Red Bull” as revealed in a 2010 tour rider. If Em’s tour rider tells us anything, it’s that our approaches to dieting are the same. All his tour rider requested though were “6 - Cans Red Bull,” yet there’s more where that came from further down below ( The Smoking Gun). Remember when Red Bull launched in the US and it was the greatest thing since sliced bread? That was back in 1997 and now that Em is big and famous, he can get all he wants. It’s safe to say that, considering they’re both the top two requested items, Em needs his diet coke. “12- Diet Coke 12oz cans” reads the second line of a tour rider from back in 2010 for the legendary rapper. 13 Canned Diet CokeĪfter listening diet coke in plastic bottle form, Eminem made sure to also request plenty of canned versions as well. We’d hate to see how much he’d flip without them. Making the very top of a tour rider back in 2010, as per The Smoking Gun, the rapper made sure to put “24- Diet Coke 16oz Plastic bottles" on his wish list.
So much so, he requested it two different ways. 14 Bottled Diet CokeĮm loves his diet coke. That certainly seems to fit, as Eminem definitely takes to the sugary carbonated beverage. It’s kind of appropriate considering rapper Earl Sweatshirt said, “If you still follow Eminem, you drink way too much Mountain Dew.” That was part of an interview with SPIN in 2015. 15 Mountain DewĮm does the dew-two whole cases, according to the New York Post. From a 2010 tour rider, the rapper has a specific water brand in mind: “48- Bottles Water 12oz bottles (Dasani, Poland Springs) "NO Evian.” In case it wasn’t clear, he wanted his water in bottles. 16 “NO Evian” WaterĪmid all the sugary drinks, Em didn’t forget to request water-and lots of it. We can just imagine Em chowing down on these before going back out on stage for an encore. One thing really stands out on Eminem’s tour rider from 2010: “Large fresh jumbo shrimps ‘w/ cocktail sauce & plenty of lemons.'" There's no skimping on the shrimp or lemons on Em's tour. That is, “6 Lunchables snacks (3 turkeys & 3 ham with cheese),” to be exact ( The Smoking Gun Business Insider).
Eminem is easygoing, has simple tastes and doesn't ask for much-just throw him some Lunchables and he’s ready to perform. It’s not as high-class as Beyoncé’s juicy baked chicken and steamed garlic broccoli-as her tour rider revealed-but it’ll do. In a scan of the document from The Smoking Gun there’s listed, “25 lb dumbbells.” We would’ve thought Eminem would be more the arcade-playing type rather than the weight-lifting kind leading up to a big show. Was Em just trolling the venue, his crew and the ones who actually had to produce this pond for him? 19 25 Pound DumbbellsĪt first glance, Eminem’s tour rider looks ordinary-drinks, snacks, WiFi access, dumbbells-wait a second, dumbbells? Yup. According to Capital XTRA, the famous artist requested it in 2011 for a performance in Northern Ireland. 20 Koi Fish PondĪrguably the most bizarre and entitled request on the list has to be Em’s koi fish pond. If there’s something Em’s tour riders say about the rapper-which is a list of backstage requests-it's that he's got some peculiar tastes.īehold, in all its glory, items that leaked off of Eminem’s tour riders over the years, which reveals a lot about this beloved rapper’s taste in libations and cuisine. Yet what can often come with fame and fortune is a penchant for overindulgence. From humble beginnings to making millions-and going on to become the fifth richest rapper in history at $192 million-he has everything he could ever want ( Playback.fm). From Slim Shady to 15-time Grammy winner to Recovery, Eminem has evolved over the years.
